About This Audiobook
Baby Teeth is told from alternating perspectives, Suzette's exhausted maternal despair and her seven-year-old daughter Hanna's cold, calculating determination to remove her mother from the picture. Hanna is silent at home and school but not innocent, and Stage constructs a domestic horror that refuses to offer the usual narrative reassurances, placing the reader inside both a mother's reasonable fear and a child's unreasonable hatred.
Gabra Zackman's dual narration is the audiobook's defining feature, her ability to convey Hanna's childlike exterior over something entirely different making the horror tangible. Switching between Suzette's fragmented anxiety and Hanna's smooth, satisfied perspective requires tonal precision, and Zackman delivers it with the kind of controlled unsettling that the material demands.
