This novel reads like the Bruegel painting on the front cover; Yoss is only a small part of a much bigger picture- even though he is the main character. On each boy in the remote village's 14th birthday; they must spend one night outside to prove they have been elsewhere. Yoss is a thinker and decides that he wants to keep going to actually see the rest of the world; a decision that sees him niavely take up with 2 crooks : Gaspar & the very evil Conrad. They convince Y that their robberies are just extracting money from people who owe them debt and Y believes this until he is arrested in the town. There he is sold to a merchant as a servant/slave; has the merchant's wife besotted with him (surrogate child), befriends the faithful chief steward (who then starts to question his master)and studies the famous painter who is creating a masterpiece upstairs. meanwhile Conrad & Gaspar escape jail and possible execution. And after C kills G, he come looking for Yoss who he believes betrayed him. Very involving story...with a happy ending. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

“TOWNS SWALLOW MEN up, Yoss. They’re hungry. People disappear into them and are never heard from again.” From an idyllic village high in the mountains, a boy of 14 sets out to encounter the world. On the plain below, a town sweats with schemes and deceptions. Merchant, mistress, trickster, thief—many are drawn to this innocent newcomer. But all who seek to possess him will pay a price.

The first time I tried this book I couldn't get into it, but this time around I found the story engaging and all the characters interesting on different levels.
