Brian Arthur Levene sets up a frightening plot line in THE TERRORIST'S DAUGHTERS. The girls are under the thumb (and whip) of their father. He moves them from the land of infidels (USA) to Pakistan. When they attempt an escape after the eldest disappears, their lives turn towards freedom, but at what cost?They never know what person is a spy and what person is a liberator. They are subjected to more torture and abuse while on the road.I felt that the author could have used less summary in places, with more of a telescoping in on the moment. The plot is complicated, but we nevertheless want to feel the big moments even if those are graphically violent and sad.Levene provides a strong relationship with the sisters, a useless, drug-addicted mother, and a beast of a father. Knowing when to focus in and when to pull back will make Book 2 of the series even more interesting.
