'ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022' - She Reads'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' - New York TimesCarlota Moreau: A young woman, growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucat�n peninsula, the only daughter of 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 scientific experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas with plentiful coffers.  The hybrids: The fruits of the Doctor's labour, destined to blindly obey their creator while they remain in the shadows,  are a motley group of part-human, part-animal monstrosities. All of them are living in a perfectly balanced and static world which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Doctor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45458483740893,"sku":"9781529417999","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781529417999.jpg?v=1719950699","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781529417999","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
