The novel shows what happens when grand dreams meet real-world challenges, as seen through Don Quixote and the people he meets. A main storyline involves Dorothea, who asks Don Quixote to help her get back what was stolen from her by a deceiving man. Also, Cardenio, who has lost in love, joins forces with Dorothea because they both are facing difficulties.
