'All the Perfect Days is simply perfect. I read long past bedtime, desperate to know what happened to the characters I'd come to love.' Kerryn Mayne

'Michael Thompson lifts us out of the everyday and reminds us why life is worth living.' 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.' Jane Tara

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.
