The Man Who Loved China is one of those stories so fascinating stories that it's hard to believe you haven't heard it yet.The only real character in the story is Joseph Needham. He was a quirky Brit (the only other kind being incredibly dull) who fell in love with a Chinese woman, and then with China itself. Despite that China was not his background, his training, or the reason for his employment, he parleyed his professorship into lifelong employment immersed in the subject he loved most.
I found the narrative a bit repetitive, but the story was so enjoyable that I didn't mind much.
