- Synopsis
- Ingrid Jonker finds from an early age her freedom and solace in writing, whenever and wherever she can.
  She is like a whirlwind. You have to love her, bringing excitement and drama with her. Jack Cope and Andre Brink love her at the
  same time - but neither can give Ingrid what she seeks.
  Rejected by her father, who worked as minister of censorship in the Apartheid regime of 1960s South Africa, she struggles to find
  a home and a love.
  It is not until Nelson Mandela read her poem “The child that died at Nyanga” in his first speech to the South African Parliament
  that she “lived again”.
