Waiting for Elvis

By Toni Graham

Book Overview

Zany, over-the-top and sexy, while achingly poignant and real, Waiting for Elvis is the bitingly funny follow-up to Toni Graham's award winning collection The Daiquiri Girls. In 11 darkly comic, interconnected stories that read as seamlessly as a novel, Graham exposes the hilarious side of loneliness and introduces Jane, the most beguiling single woman since Bridget Jones.

Nearing 50, Jane is a San Francisco psychotherapist-turned-dog walker, a wild woman in an ever-changing body. She hasn't had a lover since Lars, the unfaithful, hedonistic love of her life, was decapitated in a car accident after a New Year's Eve quarrel. But grief be damned With equal parts alcohol and attitude, Jane lurches after all life has to offer--ever reminded that meeting the right man is as likely as a proposal from a dead Elvis.

Customer Reviews

Waiting for Elvis

It is important to be aware that this book was not written by the "other" Toni Graham, who wrote Sleeping with the Pastor. The two writers share nothing but the same name.

Very Impressed

Toni Graham is obviously a well trained author. Her work reads well and her characters open up to the reader allowing them to see each side of the personality.
