“Shirley Temple” in Wonderland meets Chinese opium addicts, Nazis, and Japanese bayonets— Tea on the Great Wall is a young American girl’s account as the world falls apart in 1930s China. Patricia Luce Chapman’s memoir is full of the color and feel of living as a foreigner in a Chinese world, the encroachment of the Japanese, and the takeover by the Nazis of the German school in Shanghai that she attended.  “Patricia Chapman’s beautifully written memoir offers texture—a sense of colors and smells—that puts history in an essential perspective. We can appreciate and enjoy her remarkable story, and be grateful that it has been told, and told so well.”  —James A. Kelly, former U.S. Asst. Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs Patricia Luce Chapman was born in 1926 and lived in Shanghai for the first 14 years of her life, moving to the United States in November 1940.
