Dochera, which was written by Edmundo Paz-Soldan talks about a man named Loredo

this mysterious woman with the name Dochera...In the long run, Loredo starts inventing a new
world, all because of Dochera, a woman who he bumped into. As we go along with the story, we
can see how much he wants Dochera, day by...
