A charming, uplifting novel that asks: what would you do if you knew how long everyone around you had left to live? Family GP Charlie Knight fears life is passing him by. He’s in his late thirties, and treading water as a family doctor in the same small town he grew up in.
Just as he’s planning his escape, something changes. He develops a gift, an extraordinary insight for any doctor: a sense of exactly how many days his patients have left to live.

But in a country town like Marwick, his patients are his friends. His own family. The people he grew up with, and the girl he still loves.

And Charlie discovers this gift may not be a gift at all.

Reviews for All the Perfect Days

'All the Perfect Days is simply perfect. Funny and heartwarming with a touch of magic. I read long past bedtime, desperate to know what happened to the characters I'd come to love. If you enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures, you'll love All the Perfect Days. A clever mix of whimsy, warmth and humour that you won't be able to put down.' Kerryn Mayne, author of Lenny Marks Gets Away with Murder 'All The Perfect Days is a perfect book. Michael Thompson lifts us out of the everyday and reminds us why life is worth living.   When GP Charlie learns he can predict when his patients are going to die, he is faced with a terrible conundrum. And then it gets worse. Would you want to know when the people you love are going to die? All the Perfect Days is a tale that cuts to the heart of things and you won’t be the same after reading it.' Hayley Scrivenor 'In a world that often feels out of control, there is comfort in Thompson’s novels and the idea that magic exists, and that love will prevail. All the Perfect Days is poignant, profound… you won’t be able to put this down.' Jane Tara, author of Tilda is Visible 'Hopeful, clever, and thought-provoking, Michael Thompson’s All The Perfect Days is an inventive meditation on the ultimate existential conundrum—our mortality. Full of lovable characters, this book reminds us that every moment of our lives, especially those with our loved ones, is something to be treasured.' Mikki Brammer, author of The Collected Regrets of Clover 'All the Perfect Days is poignant, big-hearted, and an addictive read. No one crafts high concept page turners celebrating the preciousness of life and the numbered days of lovable characters quite like Michael Thompson.' Siang Lu, author of Ghost Cities 'Michael Thompson is back with another enthralling concept, delivered with his trademark warmth, humour and tenderness. All the Perfect Days is one of those clever, thought-provoking books that has you hooked from the first page and leaves you changed for the better.' Emma Grey, author of USA bestseller Pictures of You  'Original, engrossing, sweet.' Graeme Simsion on How to Be Remembered
