They help her to explain to herself her fathers obsession with beautiful things. They also help her to understand the true value of her fathers legacythe familys antiques business, and her own inborn helplessness before the beautiful and the real.Doves of Townsend was chosen the best short story of the year 2000 by the judges of the Journey Prize, the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. O.
