My Education

Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. Hes said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. Hes condemned on the walls of the womens restroom and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one warned Regina about his exceptional physical beautyor his charismatic, volatile wife. My Education is the story of Reginas mistakes, which begin in the bedroom and endif they dofifteen years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Reginas misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.
