A Healthy [Learning] Environment is a dramatic novel about a fictitious Model C school that suffers the loss of a great headmaster. Told from the perspectives of the lonely secretary, an atheistic maths teacher, a Christian substitute teacher, an adored artist, a misunderstood youth and the overextended head girl, this tale cleverly explores our different attempts to overcome our grief, while capturing the delicate state of the country and the world of 2016.
