About this listen

From the New York Times best-selling author of Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night comes a dreamy reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the background of 19th-century Mexico.

Carlota Moreau: A young woman, growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatán peninsula, the only daughter of a genius—or a madman.

Montgomery Laughton: A melancholic overseer with a tragic past and a propensity for alcohol, an outcast who assists Dr Moreau with his scientific experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas with plentiful coffers.

The hybrids: The fruits of the Doctor's labour, destined to blindly obey their creator while they remain in the shadows, are a motley group of part-human, part-animal monstrosities.

All of them are living in a perfectly balanced and static world which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Doctor Moreau's patron—who will, unwittingly, begin a dangerous chain-reaction.

For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and in the sweltering heat of the jungle passions may ignite.

Good read..

I've seen the movie 'The Island of Dr.Moreau' , it's pure sci-fi, extreme futuristic.
The daughter of Dr.Moreau , in a political sense is a historic fiction. Unlike the H.G Wells version of the island, in this story the hybrids are not a threat and they are treated well. The hybrids believe and trust the doctor like a God. The daughter, Carlota , trusts and obeys her father to the line. Montgomery, majordomo comes out as a saviour of the book. With all the twists and turns, there's also romance...
overall a good read. The narrator has done an awesome job with altering accents...
