In the cold spring of 1929, Artur Andersson leaves his wife and three children alone for a few hours to go and fetch firewood in the forest. When he returns, the children lie dead in the bathtub. The story of Ingeborg Andersson and what happened that day was a tightly guarded family secret for 70 years. Drawing on Ingeborg’s own letters and other archive material, Maria Bouroncle recreates the tragic tale of her great-aunt and her treatment by the criminal justice and mental healthcare systems of the day.
