Connie Palmen, I know and I read her book I. M. a long time ago. Ischa Meijer I have never known but I recall the commotion around his death in 1995. In this series, I have to admit that I was pleasantly struck by the actress playing Connie Palmen. There is a lot that does not fit, e..g Ischa's singing, the hills in Limburg (there are no hills around St Odiliënberg where Connie was born) and Connie's accent (should be much more southern Dutch). But the acting of Wende playing Connie is beautiful. Apart from this, I think this series is much more than the book the story of a man with problems; his jealousy, his alleged problems with his parents. We only see this story from one side, and that is Connie's.
