MY EDUCATION
It is said that forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. But the consequences for those who give in to such temptation can be incredibly... educational. And no one knows this better than Regina Gottlieb, a young graduate student who finds herself involved in quite a scandalous affair. In MY EDUCATION, author Susan Choi (The Foreign Student, American Woman) expertly weaves a complex and sizzling tale about love, desire, possession, and obsession.
Acclaimed novelist Susan Choi tells the provocative story of twenty-one-year-old graduate student Regina Gottlieb’s imbroglio with the scandalous Professor Nicholas Brodeur and his charismatic, volatile wife, Martha. While initially involved with a brilliant young medical student named Dutra, Regina loses herself in a ravenous, completely consuming love affair with Martha that has devastating consequences. Fifteen years later, a happily married mother and bestselling novelist living in Brooklyn, Regina once again crosses paths with Nicholas and Dutra—and considers visiting Martha, a woman she’s never stopped adoring, now living a bucolic life on a farm in northern California. SUSAN CHOI’s first novel, The Foreign Student, won the Asian-American Literary Award for Fiction. Her second novel, American Woman, was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In 2004 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 2010 she received the PEN/W.G. Sebald award. She teaches at Princeton.
