About this listen

A divergent future with a thought-provoking feminist slant, MOTHS is perfect for those who loved The Power, The Handmaid's Tale and Vox.

Out they came, away from natural predators, nesting in damp corners and in the tops of trees, crossbreeding with common cousins and laying thousands upon thousands of eggs. Then… the eggs hatched and an army of hungry caterpillars spread their tiny toxic threads on every breath of wind.’ The threads spell doom for humanity – half of it, at least. All around the world, men are dying in their sleep or turning into rage-fuelled killers. The world, as we know it, ends. However, humanity adapts and society moves on. Many years later, very few even remember what life was like before the change. Mary does, though, and when an opportunity presents itself, she is faced with soul-searching decisions to make. Will she cling to the only strand of the past she has left or will she risk it all in the name of equality?

I was scrolling through Juanita McMahon’s audible content because she broke my heart with her astonishing recording of Madensky Square. This looked interesting. It is VERY interesting! I absolutely loved it, a really thrilling, beautifully told dystopian sci fi, in which a really old woman gets to do proper adventure protagonist stuff. It’s sweet and clever and believable - i mean the emotions are believable, rather than the sci fi, although the world building is consistent and sensible. I just bought the sequel today and absolutely can’t wait to start listening. Juanita McMahon by the way unrecognisable in this from Madensky Square - I prefer her sexy couturier voice but how clever and talented she is!

It was a slow burner. 🐌 Glad I listened to it though. Less scifi/thriller than I thought, more dystopian drama/soap opera.

Perfect choice of narrator

This was so unexpectedly good! I'd never heard of it before and went in blind.
This is way better than "The Power".
Really glad I found this!
