Despite Miguel's entreaties, the ever-practical Dol軋, with her love of luxury and her devotion to her own art, repeatedly refuses to upend her life for him, although she always welcomes his attentions on her own terms. When Miguel renders her as the lowly Dulcinea in his great Quixote, 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 Dol軋 needs to unburden herself of a secret. Disguised as a peasant and accompanied by her trusted nursemaid, Dol軋 makes the difficult trek, facing bandits, the menacing reach of the Inquisition, and her own misgivings. Will she arrive in time? And if she does, will she be able to tell Miguel what she has concealed from him for so many years? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVeciana-Suarez's richly imagined heroine leaps from these pages as a woman of flesh and blood, one committed to both duty and desire. Dulcinea explores the choices we make in life, the regrets we harbor, and the courage we find to make amends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Veciana-Suarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 820081341X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798200813414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023","brand":"Ana Veciana-Suarez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075316019455,"sku":"9798200813414","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67a64bd9-6d9b-49fd-a6a8-758588ad8299.jpg?v=1685458774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dulcinea-ana-veciana-suarez-9798200813414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
