All the Perfect Days: A Novel

For fans 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.
