"(An) engrossing memoir ...To turn everything recorded here -
births, an infant death, family uprootings, civil turmoil,
maintaining an American household in the interior of China - into
gold requires an alchemy that only a beautiful, strong-minded,
witty and loving wife and mother can hold the secret to." (John
Espey, Washington Post Book World). "A wonderful, sad, moving
memoir by an indomitable American ...Golden Inches not only gives
many fascinating glimpses of historical events; more important, it
shows us what it meant to live through those events and deal with
them without rancor, resentment or facile anger and enthusiasm."
(Tracy B. Strong, New York Times Book Review). "This closely
observed portrait of living in isolated missionary communities and
treaty ports, against the background of one of the most turbulent
periods of twentieth-century Chinese history, is an important
document. It is also a moving story of one family's obsessive and
destructive love affair with China." (Tiffany Brown, Times Literary
Supplement).
