The Reader's Retreat: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Reader's Retreat: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia | Herbal Tea & Gothic Sci-Fi

Set in 19th-century Mexico against the backdrop of the Caste War of Yucatán, Carlota Moreau resides at the isolated estate of Yaxaktun. She is raised by her father, Dr. Carl Moreau, a French scientist conducting clandestine genetic experiments funded by the wealthy Hernán Lizalde to create human-animal hybrid laborers.

When Eduardo Lizalde, the son of Dr. Moreau's patron, unexpectedly arrives at Yaxaktun, his presence triggers political tension, romantic conflict, and a violent uprising among the hybrid creations, forcing Carlota to confront her father's ethical transgressions and her own origins.
