Graceland is the fifth novel by British writer Bethan Roberts.
The novel fictionalizes the childhood years of Elvis Presley with a particular focus on his relationship with his mother Gladys Presley.
[1][2] Roberts wrote the book in part because of the presence of Elvis in her life, through her mom's being a "massive Elvis fan".
Telegraph review Clair Allfree gave the novel five stars.
[2] In the Financial Times review of the novel, critic Susie Boyt called it "disciplined and surprisingly sober considering its themes", describing the full novel as an "understated, thoughtful novel".
