Her friends, the human and animal “hybrids” he creates, surround her, and she has little interest in what lies beyond their estate’s borders. Hints of political upheaval in the Yucatán peninsula leak in from time to time, but Yaxaktun feels safe to Carlota--even under the shadow of the possibility that Doctor Moreau’s patron Hernando Lizalde’s largesse might one day end.Montgomery is another man in Lizalde’s debt, a British expat with a drinking problem who becomes Doctor Moreau’s assistant and develops a fascination with the innocent, sincere Carlota. When Lizalde’s son Eduardo arrives and he takes an interest in wooing Carlota, encouraged by Doctor Moreau, it is Montgomery and the hybrids who seek to protect her…and the dark secrets of Yaxaktun.But when passions ignite and Carlota finally begins to ask questions about both the painful existences of the hybrids and her father’s research, the answers may endanger her and her home forever. With The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, New York Times’ bestselling author of Mexican Gothic Silvia Moreno-Garcia has written another instant classic, a sumptuous, unforgettable reimagining of H.G. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau.Limited: 500 signed numbered hardcover copies
