My Education (novel)My Education is the fourth novel by American author Susan Choi published in 2013.

Plot
Regina Gottlieb arrives at a prestigious university (unnamed but recognizable as Cornell) to start graduate school. She becomes a teaching assistant for professor Nicholas Brodeur, who has a reputation for having relationships with students. At a dinner party at Nicholas�s home, Regina begins a torrid affair with Martha Hallett, Nicholas�s wife and a professor at the same university. Regina falls deeply in love with Martha and is distraught when Martha sleeps with Dutra, Regina�s medical student roommate, and breaks off their relationship. Regina begins sleeping with Nicholas, Martha divorces Nicholas, and Regina eventually drops out of school.

Years later, Regina is married and has a young son. She lives in New York City and works on writing her second novel, balancing her career and family in a way that mirrors the balance Martha had in the beginning of the book. She occasionally sees Dutra, who is a surgeon living in the same city. Regina eventually comes to learn that Dutra was deeply in love with Martha, and hasn�t loved anyone in the same way since. When Dutra is forced out of the hospital because of a scandal contrived by rival surgeons, he moves to California. Martha also lives in California. Regina flies to California, sleeps with Martha once, and then sets her up with Dutra before flying back to her family.
