Daughter of Doctor Moreau

Una reescritura de La isla del Doctor Moreau, de H.G. Wells, pero ambientada en México a finales del siglo XIX. Aunque la premisa resulta interesante, el hecho de que los dos puntos de vista principales narren hechos similares casi de la misma forma hace que la primera mitad de la novela tenga un ritmo bastante farragoso. A pesar de ello, cabe añadir que la ambientación es muy rica y que el desarrollo de la última parte está bastante bien.

A Mexican adaptation of the Island of Docteur Moreau where the main character is the usual Moreno-Garcia plucky heroine, set in the context of Mexican social, racial, and sexual hierarchies.

This is not my third read from Silvia Moreno-Garcia. And this one is as good as Mexican Gothic. This one is kinda a revision on the Island of Doctor Moreau, set in a remote location in Yucatan, with the usual plucky heroine that Moreno-Garcia is known for. It includes the usual themes of strict stratification of the Mexican society, class, race, and sex. It was a great to read during the holidays.
