review 1: A strange story with a lot of strange twists and turns. Twins are born in a convent, one lives the other doesn't. The one is raised with her cousin as her cousins twin while the spirit of the dead twin hangs around to watch over the girls. The title is totally misleading, and Elvis is a minor part of the story. All through the story family secrets are revealed and in the end it is finally revealed which of the girls is the deceased twins sister. The whole story is told from the view point of the spirit of the deceased twin.
review 2: Flowers for Elvis is a heartwarming story about a very dysfunctional family, set in Mississippi during the 1950s up to the year of Elvis Presley's death in 1977. I was captivated by this story and I couldn’t stop reading. Flowers
... more for Elvis is filled with quirky twists and characters you’ll never forget. Every chapter is headed with an Elvis reference, and while the King never makes an appearance, Genevieve does regard him as her patron saint and her ultimate love interest. I loved the ending; it was perfect in a strange and charming kind of way. I would like to read more from this author and would recommend this book. less

An interesting book-sounds silly but touching. Makes me think about a "guardian angel."
