I read a fantasy book two or more decades ago that I thought was called Dulcinea's Harp. There doesn't seem to be any book called that so I suspect that the phrase was an element within the book rather than the title. What I remember (or think I do): pivotal action that took place in a rocky desert-like region, a woman whose homeliness related to the plot. My memory of the feel is of something like Diana Wynne Jones' NA books like Hexwood and Fire & Hemlock, or maybe R. A. MacAvoy. I remember that something about it disturbed me at the time and I'm curious to revisit it.

Ooh! That looks like it might be it! The county library has it, so I'll find out and report back.
It's definitely familiar and I can see how the ending might have left me unsettled as a child. I think my memory is mashing bits of another book into it, but I think we can call this solved!
