About this listen

 From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night comes a dreamy reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico.

'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.

There is a long line of film adaptations including something like Moreau’s daughter, but historically they have been hyper-sexualised characters. Moreno-Garcia’s genius is to take that character and turn her into something entirely new by giving her brains and the ability to save herself. Great storytelling and a real pleasure to see Moreno-Garcia assert herself effortlessly into a long line of sci-fi adaptations. And beautiful narration from Gisela Chipe!

Great re-imagining, great narration
