Suggestion for a book Ali and the Golden Eagle, published by Sonlight Curriculum. It is targeted for a young audience, but I am finding it very interesting as I read it aloud to my 9 year old son. Setting is Saudi Arabia, a autobiographical account by an American meeting a young Saudi and his family, and their attempt to find and train a golden eagle.

Rosemary (Sutcliff) - a close relative - loved clothes, style, fashion and dressing up. She transcended her rather severe disabilities, as you can see for example on the cover of the original hardback edition of her autobiography Blue Remebered Hills
Kind regards

By 'texture' I mean pretty much what it says on the tin. ^-^ I have a (weird) form of synesthesia that has me attaching textures to sounds. Unfortunately, also sounds of languages. Sometimes/With some things, it's stronger than others. For example, I struggled quite a bit with describing the texture of Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper, but The Dead Zone (King) was a piece of cake. That one was so strongly present... Sometimes it really sucks, though, because I'll come across an author I really like in every aspect but how I experience the way the book is written. (Robin McKinley is a good example. I loved the stories I read, storywise. I could see the beauty of the lines. But... Texture-wise it just felt like wading through treacle. I hate that, possibly even more than reading a book that just needed a good edit, or two, to shine.) I hope that answers the question, but please don't hesitate to tell me if it doesn't!
(Also, I hope you don't find this presumptuous of me, but since we don't seem to be sharing any of his books I thought I'd throw the name out there: Guy Gavriel Kay. He doesn't, sadly, write straight-up historic fiction so if you absolutely hate any and all forms of fantasy now he's not for you. But he writes stories quite firmly based on real historic events. His latest book is based on Chinese history, so I thought it worth mentioning. Might be it's something you'd be interested in and wouldn't have heard of for a while otherwise. If I am stepping over some sort of line - I always feel a little awkward randomly recommending books or authors. It makes me feel like some spambot. *sigh* - but, if I am being presumptuous, I apologise. I didn't mean to be. From your profile it just seems like something you might find interesting. You're welcome to return the favour at any rate. ^-^ Wishlists can't be big enough!)
