Uplifting New Fiction From Michael Thompson

'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. 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. 

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. 

Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will make you laugh, cry and question: if you knew when the people you loved were going to die ... would you tell them?
