When twenty-one-year-old builder Joe Wright meets Leo, he falls in love hard, and seemingly for ever. Mature, philosophical and intensely handsome, Leo teaches Joe an appreciation of music and literature, and, most importantly, a passion for the beautiful old buildings that are disappearing from Auckland's central city. But when Leo suddenly vanishes from his life, then drifts back again years later, Joe - now a powerful developer of heritage architecture - is unable to move on from this first affair. As the years pass, and Leo stays just out of reach, can Joe open his eyes to new possibilities? An intense love story and a love song to a city's vanishing past, Shelter depicts the myriad complexities of male relationships, the possibilities offered by chance encounters and the exquisite beauty of friendship - and a home - found in unexpected places.
Born in West Auckland, Douglas Lloyd Jenkins grew up on the North Shore before moving to the central city; in time to observe the first wave of demolition. It was here that he grew to love local architecture and design which fuelled a career as an award-winning writer of non-fiction on the subjects of art, design and architecture. He has had columns in the New Zealand Herald, New Zealand Listener and HOME magazine. His book At Home: A Century of New Zealand Design was the Montana Book Awards Non-Fiction Winner in 2004 and The Dress Circle: New Zealand Fashion Design since 1940, which he co-authored, was shortlisted for the same prize in 2011. His most recent book Beach Life won the PANZ Best Illustrated Book Award in 2017. Douglas now lives in South Auckland with his dog. He has written widely on contemporary masculinity and LGBTQI+ subjects. Shelter is his first novel.
