| Amity Gaige's Schroder made the list! AudioGo's Top 100 list is on sale this month in OverDrive Marketplace; and in order to give our users a better sense for the quality and extensiveness of titles available through AudioGo, I chose to do a brief review of Schroder and give some insight into why it made the Top 100.
Eric continues to live through the façade he has created into adulthood and marriage; where the decisions he made in his youth begin to affect his future.
Jennifer Egan
"In SCHRODER, Amity Gaige explores the rich, murky realm where parental devotion edges into mania and logic crabwalks into crime. This offbeat, exquisitely written novel showcases a fresh, forceful young voice in American letters."—Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad
*You can find Schroder on sale in OverDrive Marketplace in our Must Have's list under AudioGo 30% off sale.
