Susan Atefat-Peckham's images alternately whet and sting the senses as rich chador fabrics, earthy cooking scents, and the tender guidance of uncles and grandmothers give way to scene of female mistreatment that make the reader ache to return to the shelter that the chador and the curtain--rightfully or otherwise--provide. Atefat-Peckham's love and celebration of family and culture burnish this collection to a touching glow.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Atefat Peckham (1970-2004), author of \u003ci\u003eThat Kind of Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, was born in New York to Iranian immigrant parents.
