| Summary | "Mrs. Thompson: A Novel" by W. B. Maxwell is a fictional work likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Mrs. Thompson, a middle-aged woman who has transformed her late husband's struggling shop into a thriving business. As a strong and capable woman, Mrs. Thompson navigates the challenges of both her professional life and her relationship with her daughter, Enid, while also managing the complexities that arise from her personal ambitions. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mrs. Thompson as she oversees her shop, demonstrating her business acumen and managerial skills. The bustling atmosphere of the shop, filled with employees preparing for their half-holiday, sets the stage for her character as a dedicated and respected leader. Mrs. Thompson's impending decision to promote a young shop assistant, Dicky Marsden, sparks conversation among her employees, hinting at underlying dynamics and potential conflicts.
