The Name is Thompson - by Elizabeth May. Set in Belfast in the 1850s, this is the story of two families living in the centre of the town at a time of civil strife and dire poverty. We follow the Thompson and McKenna families - families of different religions, but joined as close neighbours in understanding. A story of their fortunes and misfortunes, family disputes, the bigotry of others, and a blossoming romance. A rich and beautiful tale, introducing the reader to the families of Killen Street and College Place, in a novel of old Belfast. __________________________________________ Note: The Name Is Thompson has been posthumously published from the original typewritten manuscript by Elizabeth May. The process of converting the typed MSS to a word processed document produced typographical errors or inaccuracies. Most of these have been corrected. However despite many hours of proofing and editing some may remain. Also, some have been retained in order to preserve the integrity of the original text.
