NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night comes a lavish historical drama reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico.

“This is historical science fiction at its best: a dreamy reimagining of a classic story with vivid descriptions of lush jungles and feminist themes. Some light romance threads through the heavier ethical questions concerning humanity.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“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—the sleek and the bizarre, wild passions and deep hatreds—with cool equanimity.”—The New York Times (Editors Choice)


FINALIST FOR THE HUGO AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Polygon, Tordotcom, Paste, CrimeReads, Booklist


Carlota Moreau: A young woman growing up on a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatán 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 dangerous chain reaction.

For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and, in the sweltering heat of the jungle, passions may ignite.

Entertaining Story

This story has a lot of potential as the idea was very interesting, it just took a long time to get to the climax and the ending felt a bit corny.

Falls flat

I wanted this to be a more than it was. I appreciate the historical elements, but none of the characters were relatable or likable. They all felt very shallow and vapid which made it difficult to connect or care about what happened to them. The story had a fine build up and twist but otherwise, the ending fell flat (just pieced together violence, not as intriguing). I would have loved to see more elements of science fiction or science in general, like in Mexican Gothic.

Good start, ending fell flat

This book took it’s time to grab my interest. When it did, it was good though it lacked the element of surprise. Her book Gos of Jade and Shadow remains my favorite of the three I have read.

Enjoyable Tale

Having read many of the authors books, I was very pleased with the audible reader. She was able to create a voice that represented many different characters. We listened to this during a road trip and it was a wonderful experience. We are hoping there might be a sequel to this book.

Wonderful recreation of a classic

Starts off slow but then it becomes completely engaging. Love the performance. The accents made the story pop.

Great listen

Moreno-Garcia’s use of languages and history is enthralling and Chipe’s deft performance is remarkable.

Great performance

I loved the twist of this book, it was just so well written and the characters were so fleshed out and believable.

This book is a trip

I thought the performance was amazing. I normally have an audio and kindle version of a book, but because of the wonderful performance, I did not wish to read the book but to have it fully read and performed to me.

Performance

I really enjoy her writing style and appreciate the history that she has woven in.

So worth the wait.
