A Respectable Veneer is Rachel Doré’s new novel.
Ruby narrowly escapes 1950s Auckland with her young daughter and seeks to build a new life in the Manawatu. She discovers it is easier to change her surroundings than her reality.
Ruby is faced with the need to create a respectable veneer for herself in the face of discrimination and danger. But as her past catches up on her, it’s not only she and her daughter who need protection, but her new friends as well.

“A Respectable Veneer is a historical novel with a thriller element. A respectable veneer might be what Ruby is wanting, but the clever ending suggests that it is what the whole of New Zealand took on after the war. A great debut novel.” – alysontheblog
