The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Carlota Moreau is a young woman who was raised in a luxurious estate that was far from the Yucatán Peninsula’s war and struggle. the sole child of a scientist who is either genius or a lunatic. Montgomery Laughton is a depressed supervisor with a dark past and a drinking problem. An outcast who helps Dr Moreau with his research, funded by the wealthy Lizaldes family, who own vast haciendas and plenty of funds.
The hybrids: The results of the doctor’s work, doomed to follow their creator blindly and live in the background. a bizarre collection of hybrid beings with human and animal parts. The unexpected entrance of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and negligent son of Dr Moreau’s patron, who will unintentionally start a catastrophic chain reaction, shakes up the environment they all live in, which is perfectly balanced and stagnant.
Since Carlota has questions, Moreau maintains secrets, and the intense heat of the forest makes it possible for desires to flare up. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is a brilliant historical story that also takes readers on a risky science-fiction adventure.

The protagonist of this tale is Carlota Moreau, doctor Moreau’s daughter, who grows up in the heart of the Yucatán peninsula. Her father is the leader of a group of hybrids, sometimes nice and other times terrible in appearance. The viewpoints of Montgomery, Moreau’s overseer and assistant, and Carlota swap throughout the narrative. The Lizaldes, who are the owners of the Moreau’s house and provided funding for the doctor’s experiments, wield sway over all of the characters. As a result, when Eduardo Lizalde makes an attempt to seduce Carlota, chaos ensues.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia has written another mystifying historical tale about Mexico! This time, the isolated Yucatán Peninsula in the 1870s serves as the setting, with warring factions, British colonialism, and remote haciendas in the jungle as the backdrop. A fairly crazy scientist, his majordomo, and his daughter are the only people there when curious and obnoxious outsiders finally pay them a visit.
This is a retelling of the 125-year-old science fiction classic by H.G. Wells, which became well-known at a period when science was experimenting with the abhorrent technique of “vivisection” and the English were worried about the decline of the human race. The book by Ms Moreno-Garcia includes a daughter and feminism-related details that weren’t in the original (although the themes of class distinctions and castes were there in 1896).
The protagonists of the tale are the daughter Carlota and Dr. Moreau’s right-hand man, the drunkard Montgomery. Edwin, a castaway who learns the mysteries of the Moreau property, played a larger role in the original story than Edouard, the son of the wealthy patron and now an intrusive stranger.
