When Miguel renders her as the lowly Dulcinea in his great \u003ci\u003eQuixote\u003c\/i\u003e, revealing their association, he commits an unforgivable offense and their decades-long affinity is severed--until he reaches out to her one last time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roads of Spain are no place for a noblewoman seeking to reunite with her former lover, but Dolça needs to unburden herself of a secret.
