In The Laws we follow Marie's encounters with seven defining people in her young life: the astrologer, the epileptic, the philosopher, the priest, the physicist, the artist and the psychiatrist. Through these encounters she learns different ways of looking at people and personality. We see how she grows into writing in a sensational way and gives meaning to her life, thanks to and despite these encounters.

Within a year of its publication, Connie Palmen's debut novel The Laws sold over 400,000 copies. Now, thirty years later, it has become a modern classic.
