Chapter 5 - Airmail Paper - The Subtle Knife

Her Dark Materials is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Faye and Rachael discussing the His Dark Materials novels chapter by chapter, spoiler-free.

In this episode we chat about Chapter 5 of The Subtle Knife – Airmail Paper.

In this chapter, we learn more about Lyra and Will’s dynamic as they hide in our Oxford together. They both rescue a poor cat from getting terrorised by some awful children back in Cittagazze, and afterwards, Will finally reads the letters from his dad.

If you want to read more of Rach’s research on cats, here are the articles she mentioned:
