Silvia Moreno-Garcia's 'The Daughter of Doctor Moreau' reimagines H.G.

The story revolves around Carlota Moreau, the sheltered daughter of a brilliant and enigmatic scientist, and Montgomery Laughton, the doctor's troubled assistant.

When a dashing Eduardo Lizalde arrives, secrets begin to unravel, and the fragile peace of the estate is threatened.

The novel explores themes of colonialism, scientific ethics, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity.
