Mr. Mortimer

One mild October night, Samantha and Frank, a fortysomething, happily-married couple, open their front door to their retired neighbour, Daniel Mortimer.

Reporting the death of his wife, their childless caller has no-one else to turn to in his loss.

Sam, good-natured and practical, offers to help, and at first her interest is one of neighbourly concern. But her relationship with Daniel soon deepens, and Sam is forced to make a decision that could destroy her marriage forever.

Mr. Mortimer is by turns tough and tender in its examination of relationships, and addresses the nature of love, age and sexuality in a way that will captivate anyone interested in human motivations, life's choices, and matters of the heart.
