About this listen
'The deeply atmospheric novel blends horror, science fiction, and historical events' Time, 100 'Must Read Books of 2022'
Carlota Moreau: growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatan peninsula, she is the only daughter of an eccentric, and dangerous, genius. His experiments, a motley group of hybrid monstrosities, are blindly loyal to their creator.
Into Carlota's strange but perfectly balanced world comes Eduardo Lizalde, the charming, careless son of Doctor Moreau's patrons. In the sweltering heat of the jungle, amidst her father's secrets and her own awakening feelings, Carlota will begin asking questions that could ignite a conflagration.

'The imagination of Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a thing of wonder, restless and romantic, fearless in the face of genre, embracing the polarities of storytelling' - New York Times

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...
Good read..
