"Friends, Though Divided: A Tale of the Civil War" by G. A. Henty is an historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the events leading up to the English Civil War and explores themes of loyalty and friendship amidst a backdrop of national conflict. The narrative introduces two young boys, Harry Furness and Herbert Rippinghall, who grapple with their differing familial loyalties—Harry's allegiance lies with the Royalists while Herbert's is with the Parliamentarians—just as tensions rise between the warring factions of the kingdom. The opening of the novel sets the stage on the eve of the war, as Harry and Herbert, along with a young girl named Lucy, engage in a thoughtful conversation about the political landscape of their time. They discuss the complexities of their respective positions, referencing their fathers' differing views on the monarchy and Parliament. This conversation serves as a microcosm of the greater societal divide, showcasing the innocence of youth caught in a turbulent political sphere. Amidst their discussions, there is a palpable camaraderie and hope for continued friendship despite their differences, a theme that Henty aims to explore further as the civil conflict unfolds.
