Karen Blixen filed for divorce from her husband, Bror von Blixen-Finecke . Although the divorce was final, she would have been willing to stay married, at least nominally.

ID and her husband were divorced after three years' separation.

Karen Dinesen was expected by her family and her society to get married. She fell in love with her cousin Hans Blixen , but after this attachment ended she became secretly engaged to his brother...

She asked for alimony even though Bror was extremely poor by then; not to do so would have been, under the law, an admission that she was the guilty party. Bror von Blixen-Finecke died...

Karen Dinesen (who later wrote as ID ) set sail from Denmark to British East Africa (the present Kenya) to be married to Bror von Blixen-Finecke .

Bror and Karen Blixen (later ID ) sailed from Kenya to Europe, where they visited Paris and London before going on to spend a year at Karen's family home, Rungstedlund in Denmark.
