Ep. 6 Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Neverwhere is the remarkable story of a young businessman, whose world is turned upside down after discovering a young girl bleeding on a sidewalk. A seemingly normal act of kindness brings unexpected consequences – plunging the characters and readers alike into a world of unknown. Join us as we ask: Can the subterranean land of Neverwhere be saved?
Tuesday’s Book Club is a bi-weekly podcast series that explores some of most thought-provoking and powerful books of all time, such as this one. The show is hosted by Nova Lorraine, founder of Raine Magazine, and her two co-hosts: Tobi Santagado and Barbara Donato. Together, they investigate the bizarre world that the novel’s protagonist, Richard Mayhew, is thrown into. After reaching to help a young woman in distress, nobody could have guessed that it would lead to him being plunged into the world of Neverwhere.
Neverwhere is the antithesis of the mundane London Richard knows. Instead, it is a dark land filled with monsters and murderers, as well as saints and angels. Here Richard reencounters the girl he helped before, who we find is named Door. In a series of gripping events, we discover that Door is a powerful noblewoman; destined to avenge the evil agent of her family's slaughter and prevent the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must risk it all and join Lady Door’s quest to save her world.
