A BOOK TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING…..A STORY TOLD ACROSS TWO DECADES……

Described as “beautiful, evocative writing” and “an enchanting tale” Prior Regrets tells the story of Mark Prior and Lauren Tesairi, and their attempts to navigate the hectic streets of Jerusalem, the varied characters who call North London home, and shared memories, faded by time.

Eighteen years after their last contact, a lonely goodbye in a crumbling hostel, Lauren's unexpected message resurrected long dormant memories for Mark. At first he could barely recall their three heady months together; young backpackers, discovering Jerusalem and each other through a haze of Sinai hash, Arabic blues and naïve, youthful ambitions. But the secrets she revealed when they reconnected, secrets hidden for two decades, brought them all back, the dreams, the innocence, and the regrets. Now, despite a contented life with a wife and two sons, could he recapture that time? And could he change her bleak future?'
