Carrie Brown's three novels ("Rose's Garden," "Lamb in Love," and "The Hatbox Baby") are captivating and accomplished, and I loved them all, but "The House on Belle Isle" now places her in the ranks of Alice Munro and Peter Taylor and William Trevor as one of the premier contemporary short story writers.
