About the Book



""A stunning tale." -Booklist, STARRED review for How to Be Remembered. For readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew when someone was going to die...would you tell them? Family doctor Charlie Knight is in his late thirties, still playing tennis against the same people every Friday night. Still jogging the same streets every morning. Still treating the same patients every day-fixing the high blood pressure and arthritic knees of folks who've known him since he was a kid. But Charlie has a secret plan to escape. A plan to live the life he wants, even if the woman he was meant to do it with has left him behind. But then Genevieve Longstaff comes back to their hometown, just as something extraordinary happens. Charlie begins to have a vision of the exact number of days a person has left until they die. Charlie believes it's a gift. It certainly seems like one-after all, he's using it to help his patients, family and friends make the most of their lives: to mend relationships, to travel, to retire. But this gift comes with awful consequences, and soon Charlie realizes there are things he doesn't want to know-especially about the woman he still loves"--



Book Synopsis



"A stunning tale." --Booklist, STARRED review for How to Be Remembered

For readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew how long your loved ones would live, would you tell them?

Dr 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.



Review Quotes




"In this new twist on a classic ethical dilemma, Thompson blends the warm tone and tenor of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library (2020) with the philosophical depth of Clare Pooley's The Authenticity Project (2020) and the character-driven storytelling of Fredrik Backman's novels."--Booklist

"Leaves you changed for the better." -- Emma Grey, author of The Last Love Note and Pictures of You

"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 Bramer, author of The Collected Regrets of Clover

"If you enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures, you'll love All The Perfect Days. A clever mix of whimsy, warmth and humor that you won't be able to put down." -- Kerryn Mayne, author of Lenny Marks Gets Away with Murder

"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. I highly recommend it." -- Jane Tara, author of Tilda is Visible

"All The Perfect Days is a perfect book. Michael Thompson lifts us out of the everyday and reminds us why life is worth living... You won't be the same after reading it." -- Hayley Scrivenor, USA Today bestselling author
