📒 This is a story of a young man called Peter who is seeking out for his blood father. His car breaks down by a little bridge due to flooding on a very stormy night. He finds his way on foot to the local hostelry called The Lamb, which is situated in the village of Littlebridge, named after the little bridge. He makes friends with the locals, especially a retired gentleman called Albert. Albert takes a particular interest in Peter, beginning by inviting him to his home. He is suspicious of Peter's background, even wondering if he is an escaped prisoner. What follows is the story of Peter's involvement with the village community caught in the floods and devastation in the area. The chain of events that follow delays Peter in his quest to find his father. The story continues when Peter meets Nigel, a solicitor, who is able to give further information about his father. This is not the end of the story, as the reader has to read till the end of the book.
