The Ghost of Elvis Peter Rowland Smith 1. izdevums

There was something magical about the day from the moment he fell? It is 1978. The world is full to the brim with colour, and an eleven year old Peter decides to visit his estranged father. What he hopes for is the money for a ?mix bag? and 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.
