This is quite reminiscent in its plot of "Exposure" by Kathryn Harrison, which was a little unsettling... That being said, I really liked this novel about a woman whose childhood was spent as a model for her mother, a famous photographer. She leaves home and severs all ties to her mother for 14 years, only to return when she is dying. Good exploration of relationships; good character development. Pretty intense.
