But Won't I Miss Me

About This Audiobook

Tiffany Tsao’s *But Won’t I Miss Me* unfolds in a near-future dystopia where pregnancy triggers supernatural abilities in women—until it doesn’t. The twist? Not all powers are benevolent, and the birth of a child doesn’t guarantee a mother’s salvation. This is a novel that interrogates agency, sacrifice, and the quiet horrors of maternal love, wrapped in a speculative frame that feels hauntingly plausible. Tsao’s prose is razor-sharp, laced with dark humor and psychological depth, while her worldbuilding drips with unsettling detail: think *The Handmaid’s Tale* meets *Hereditary*, but with the raw emotional rawness of a diary unearthed decades later. The result is a literary thriller where the real monster might be the protagonist herself. The audiobook’s narration by Siho Ellsmore elevates this tension further, her voice shifting seamlessly between vulnerability, rage, and exhausted clarity—never over-dramatizing, but letting the prose’s bite land with precision. This isn’t a story that coddles; it’s one that demands you sit with discomfort, and Ellsmore ensures you do just that, word by word.
