Daughter of Doctor Moreau
Description
In the jungles of 19th-century Yucatán, Carlota Moreau lives a sheltered life on her father’s remote estate, surrounded by the extraordinary human-animal hybrids he has created. When Eduardo Lizalde, the son of her father’s wealthy patron, arrives, Carlota’s carefully protected world begins to shift, drawing her into long-buried tensions and dangerous questions about her father’s work. Blending Gothic atmosphere, historical detail, romance, and social commentary, the novel explores colonialism, scientific ambition, identity, and the meaning of humanity. Inspired by H. G. Wells’s classic tale but strikingly original in voice and setting, it offers a lush reimagining of a story about power, belonging, and freedom.
