He remembers everyone’s favourite meal. He forgets what it feels like to want something for himself.
Every morning at 5:17, Leo is already awake. Before the rest of the house stirs, he is planning breakfasts, packed lunches, birthdays and the countless small things that keep his family’s world turning. At work, he is the man who fixes what everyone else leaves behind. At home, he is the one who never seems to need anything.
But beneath the carefully organised routines, Leo is exhausted. His body is aching. His marriage is quieter than it used to be. And the simple question of what he wants has become almost impossible to answer.
As small moments begin to expose the cost of a lifetime spent putting others first, Leo must face a truth he has avoided for years: being needed is not the same as being seen.
Tender, intimate and deeply human, The Man Who Carried Everyone is a moving novel about fatherhood, invisible labour, family love and the courage it takes to let other people care for you.
For anyone who has ever been the strong one — and wondered who would be there if they finally stopped.
