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.
