2. THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER ARE ALL VERY UNCONVENTIONAL. GIVEN THE TIME PERIOD AND THE DYNAMICS OF TIME AND PLACE, DO THESE RELATIONSHIPS SEEM AT ALL PLAUSIBLE? WHY OR WHY NOT?

The fact that Mom leaves her to be with her dad is strange but relationships are strange throughout the book. They seem realistic to me. And her daughter seems able to accept it and becomes a courtesan in training.
