Shelter: Douglas Lloyd Jenkins' love story in, and of, Auckland

Douglas Lloyd Jenkins is a well-known design writer and his landmark book At Home: A Century of New Zealand Design was the Montana Book Awards Non-Fiction Winner in 2004. He was a co-author of The Dress Circle: New Zealand Fashion Design since 1940, which was shortlisted for the same prize in 2011. Shelter is his first novel, and it's a love story spanning two decades set in Auckland, between builder Joe and the enigmatic Leo, who teaches him an appreciation for music and literature. It's also a story of love for Auckland and its heritage, as Joe becomes a property developer determined to save the city's history from vanishing.
