| Description |
More than a hundred years ago, Ingeborg Pampering eloped with her neighbour from Denmark to New Zealand, leaving her husband (the famous poet Viggo Stuckenberg) and her two young sons behind. However - with no command of English language - alienation, homesickness and a failing affair finally pushed her to end her life in 1904. |
