The Ghost of Elvis

By Peter Rowland Smith

There was something magical about the day from the moment he fell... It is 1978, and the world is full to the brim with colour. When Peter decides to visit his estranged father he knows he is going against his grandmothers' wishes. His hope is for some money to buy a 'mix bag' and take a sip of his dad's warm beer. What he discovers will change his world forever. The Ghost of Elvis is an enigmatic story about an imaginative young boy's search for heroes in a world marred by alcoholism, mental illness and violence. Told in a voice that is as insightful as it is innocent, this mosaic of interwoven vignettes is a beautiful and harrowing account of childhood.
