They commit evil to punish themselves, they are suspicious de to a lack of trust within, and they betray for the sake of persuing love. Author Zhang Yueran's sharp writing style and rich poetic flare, has created a modern day fable with elements of love and loneliness, money and talent, cultural prejudice and class segregation. Combining these elements, I Came Towards the Flame, presents the glory and darkness of our age visable in the lives revealed through the pages of this book.
