THE DAUGHTER OF DOCTOR MOREAU
Εκδότης Quercus , ISBN 9781529418019
From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes an extraordinary
feminist 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.
