BOOK REVIEW

One of my favorite things about memoirs is how they let you experience a place through someone’s lived reality, and From Tea to Coffee does exactly that, drawing me in with its personal portrayal of life and people in China.

While the story unfolds during the Cultural Revolution, one of the aspects I enjoyed most was the glimpse into everyday Chinese life. From rural traditions and local customs to the warmth of shared meals and the contrast between city and countryside, the cultural details made the memoir feel incredibly immersive to me. It didn’t simply read like a history lesson; it felt like listening to someone recount a chapter of their life with honesty and reflection.

If you enjoy memoirs that transport you to another culture while being retrospective, this one is worth adding to your reading list.

Have you ever read a memoir that taught you about a culture you knew very little about? 📚
