520			_a"On Both Sides of the Sea: A Story of the Commonwealth and the Restoration" is a historical novel likely written in the mid to late 19th century. The book dramatizes the period surrounding the English Civil War, the execution of King Charles I, and the dawning of the English Commonwealth, focusing on the experiences of intertwined Royalist and Parliamentarian families. The story unfolds primarily through personal recollections and diaries, immersing readers in the ethical dilemmas, sorrow, and political strife of the era, with characters such as Olive, Roger, and Lettice at its center. The opening of the novel plunges the reader directly into the emotional turmoil of the day King Charles I is executed, as recounted by Olive. The narrative vividly portrays the silent, grief-stricken city, the stark division between Royalists and Commonwealth supporters, and the inner conflicts of those entangled personally and politically in the seismic national events. This somber historical backdrop is deepened by Lettice’s diary, which explores her crisis of faith following her mother’s death and grapples with moral uncertainty brought on by the king’s execution—particularly as it tears her apart from Roger, whom she loves. As the story progresses, through additional chapters and shifting viewpoints, the novel expands on the challenges of the new Republic, the rise of unrest, and the spiritual and political questions confronting families and soldiers alike. The opening thus sets a tone of intimate reflection woven through tumultuous historical change, providing a multi-faceted look at a turning point in English history.
