The daughter of Doctor Moreau : a novel / Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Moreno-Garcia, Silvia, (author.). Wells, H. G. (Herbert George), 1866-1946 Based on (work): Island of Doctor Moreau. (Added Author).

Summary:
Carlota Moreau: A young woman growing up on a remote and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatan peninsula. The only daughter of a researcher who is either 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 experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas and plentiful coffers. The hybrids: The fruits of the doctor's labor, destined to blindly obey their creator and remain in the shadows. A motley group of part human, part animal monstrosities. All of them live in a perfectly balanced and static world, which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Dr. Moreau's patron, who will unwittingly begin a treacherous chain reaction. For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and, in the sweltering heat of the jungle, passions may ignite.
