| 520 | _a"A Lad of Grit: A Story of Adventure on Land and Sea in Restoration Times" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the young protagonist, Aubrey Wentworth, against the backdrop of Restoration England, as he grapples with the aftermath of his father's brutal murder and embarks on a journey filled with adventure, danger, and aspirations of naval glory. The vivid depiction of historical events, characters, and settings provides an engaging glimpse into a tumultuous period marked by political intrigue and conflict. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Aubrey and his father, Owen Wentworth, as they return home from a fair, only to be drawn into a violent confrontation with a Roundhead soldier named Increase Joyce, who ultimately kills Owen. This traumatic event propels Aubrey into a world of challenges; he faces not only the emotional turmoil of loss but also the immediate threat of danger. The narrative sets the stage for Aubrey's growth as he contemplates his future, eventually leading him into the realm of seafaring and the pursuit of justice for his father, promising a tale rich in adventure and personal evolution.
