About this ebook
"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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Engrossing page-turner about a young girl's first-orson experiences with two Japanese invasions of her home-town Shanghai, China, and the German school she attended turning from a happy normal school under new Nazi leadership into a place of whispers and hard eyes. Vivid scenes of daily life in 1930's China, told with incandescent truth.
