NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night comes a lavish historical drama reimagining a classic story set in nineteenth-century Mexico. This work blends historical science fiction with vivid descriptions of lush jungles and feminist themes, offering a dreamy reimagining of a well-known tale. It explores heavy ethical questions about humanity while weaving in light romantic threads. FINALIST FOR THE HUGO AWARD • Recognized as one of the best books by The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, and others, the narrative follows Carlota, the only daughter of a researcher who straddles the line between genius and madness, growing up on a luxurious estate insulated from the turmoil of the Yucatán peninsula. Montgomery, a melancholic overseer with a tragic past, assists Dr. Moreau in his experiments, funded by the wealthy Lizaldes. The results of these experiments are a group of part human, part animal beings, destined to obey their creator and remain hidden. The arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming son of Dr. Moreau’s patron, disrupts their static world, igniting a dangerous chain reaction. As secrets unfold, Carlota's curiosity deepens, and in the sweltering jungle heat, passions may ignite. This novel is a dazzling historical tale and a bold science fiction journey.
