The Secret Diary of Nora Plain
Intieme liedcyclus van tekstschrijver Lucky Fonz III en componist Morris Kliphuis, uitgevoerd door zangeres Nora Fischer, percussionist Remco Menting en het Ragazze Quartet wordt op 11 november uitgebracht via Excelsior Recordings.

The Secret Diary of Nora Plain vertelt in twaalf liederen het intieme verhaal van Nora Plain die een eigen leven probeert te leiden in een wereld die alsmaar meer wil binnendringen – tot in haar diepste gedachten en gevoelens. 
Wie bekijkt haar eigenlijk? De overheid, haar familie, zijzelf? Heeft ze iets te verbergen? En als ze niets te verbergen heeft, is ze dan veilig? Wat wil de onzichtbare toeschouwer van haar? 
Het album is deels gebaseerd op de ervaringen van de makers en uitvoerenden, allen generatiegenoten, die zijn opgegroeid in een wereld van internet, social media, smartphones en voortdurende bereikbaarheid. 


Deze liedcyclus, omgeven door de broeierige klanken van een strijkkwartet en de onvoorspelbare ritmiek van een jazzdrummer, wordt vertolkt door de avontuurlijke zangeres Nora Fischer, het Ragazze Quartet en Remco Menting. De teksten zijn van de Nederlandse singer-songwriter Lucky Fonz III en Morris Kliphuis schreef de muziek. Het ensemble laat zich inspireren door zowel de liedcycli van Schubert als The Juliet Letters van Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet en blazen deze vorm nieuw leven in in een grensverleggend project met teksten en muziek van nú.

Vanaf dit najaar toert The Secret Diary of Nora Plain langs de Nederlandse theaters. De première is zaterdag 11 november bij November Music in Den Bosch.

De makers en vertolkers
- De Nederlandse en Engelstalige teksten van singer/songwriter Lucky Fonz III zijn pakkend in hun eenvoud, eerlijk, actueel en vertolken vaak zeer persoonlijke verhalen.
- Morris Kliphuis (Kapok, The Kyteman Orchestra) is hoornist en componist. Zijn muziek kenmerkt zich door heldere melodieën en een sterke ritmiek. Kliphuis is lid van het Berlijnse collectief stargaze en werkte samen met onder anderen Nils Frahm, Villagers, Terry Riley, Rufus Wainwright en Bill Frisell.
- Sopraan Nora Fischer heeft met haar bijzondere interesse in creatieve interpretaties van klassieke composities en een vernieuwende benadering van live performances een avontuurlijke manier van optreden ontwikkeld.
- Remco Menting, geschoold als jazzdrummer, ontwikkelde zich tot een veelzijdige en creatieve percussionist met een grote liefde voor geïmproviseerde muziek. Bij zijn ongebruikelijke setups speelt hij onder meer samen met Morris Kliphuis in jazztrio Kapok.
- Het Ragazze Quartet speelt klassieke en moderne strijkkwartetten, bevlogen en op het hoogste niveau. Met spraakmakende programma’s heeft het kwartet zich ontwikkeld tot een van de friste en toonaangevendste stemmen in de klassieke muziek.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
