The Boundless Deep
Philosophers have said that we travel through our lives, past and present, surrounded by the same souls, that we spend each new life trying to mend the hurts we've done to one another in the past. In The Boundless Deep , Kate Brallier explores this idea in a combination of strong storytelling and gifted characterization.
Grad student Liza has long been plagued by vivid dreams of whaling. Offered the chance to trade her land-locked existence for a summer on Nantucket, the well-preserved heart of New England's whaling trade, Liza jumps at the chance, eager to see how well her dreams mesh with historical reality.
The answer all too well. Liza's dreams become highly sexual; her visions of ship's captain Obadiah Young grow increasingly intense. At times the past and present mix before her eyes, with automobiles replaced by horse-drawn carriages.
Though skeptical of Liza's claims of a past life, whaling museum curator Adam is drawn to Liza's intense desire to know the truth―about herself, and about Obadiah, accused of murdering his beautiful, young wife. But Adam isn't the only man with an interest in Liza―handsome Lucian, whose home Liza is sharing for the season, has designs on her as well.
In a single summer, Liza must answer the riddle of her dreams, reunite lovers separated by death, solve a hundred-year-old murder . . . and figure out her heart's desire.

You wish, Scotty. You wish.
Okay, I wasn't expecting War & Peace when I started this book. But seriously? I can't even dredge up the will to write a scathing summary of what plot there was. All I can do is say this was "new adult" before there was New Adult. The writing was childish, the characters were vapid, & the heavy-handed foreshadowing was as subtle as a bag of chainsaws. Read my status updates for brief snippets of pain. Go ahead -- I'll wait.

...Thirsty for more?
Pg 28: My stomach was doing a little dance that was half excitement and half apprehension. For the eighty-fifth millionth time, I wondered what the hell I was doing, running off to spend the summer in the house of some woman I had never met. But Jane was grinning smugly as she pulled the car up to the booth and scrolled down the window, clearly delighted that she was about to bring me--quite literally--to the land of my dreams. And, damn it, I really wanted to see the place.
Yeah.
Pg 37: She had turned again, and my fingers started tingling as we passed a building that gave me a strange jolt of recognition. This was just too weird. Could Jane be right? Reincarnation? That was just Cleopatra coming back in the body of some beautician, or people coming back as slugs. I didn't buy that sort of stuff for an instant; I never had. So why was I reacting as if I was the poster child for life reincarnate?
You have no idea.
Pg 46: This house was freaking me right out, and I desperately needed some time to talk myself back to rationality. There were too many damned coincidences. But get real, I told myself firmly after a few minutes. The house I was to randomly spend the summer in was the very one I had lived in all those years ago? As I had told myself before, I was projecting, trying to fit my dreams into a recognizable context. And right now, the only context I had was this house. Otherwise...No, it didn't even bear thinking about.
Damn right. Pass the booze, Bones.
DNF, with an extra star deducted for juvenile writing & airhead characters, only to be followed by explicit sex scenes -- which, thankfully, I was spared from reading in detail. (See? New Adult in a nutshell.)

Ok, this would probably be a good beach book. Set in Nantucket, romance, mystery, past lives, etc. Still, I counted at least five grievous spelling errors and considering that the author is a copy editor I have trouble getting past that. However, despite the fact that this is a fairly ridiculous book I did fly through it and sitting on the beach in the sun would certainly improve things.

I really enjoyed this book! I've always been fascinated with past lives and I loved learning about Nantucket and whaling. I loved the whole concept of the book and really enjoyed the characters too.

I'm a total sceptic in real life, but in fiction, past lives/timeslip plotlines are my crack. Most authors can't do them as well as the masters, such as Susanna Kearsley or Barbara Michaels, but whenever I come across one, I can't help but buy the book and try.
In The Boundless Deep, grad student Liza has had strange dreams about whaling ships since she can remember. Detailed, recurring dreams, so vivid that she can't help thinking they might be something more than dreams. When her kooky roommate Jane finds out, she's fascinated. She's also determined to do something about it.
Jane is in a position to do so, because her Aunt Kitty owns a large house in Nantucket, and is happy to have Jane and Liza join her other nephew, the mysterious Lucian, as guests for the summer. And as soon as Liza gets there, she starts having strange spells, 'recognising' the house as it used to be a couple of centuries earlier, and her dreams start getting more frequent and vivid. More and more, she dreams of the man who built the house, Obadiah Young. All sorts of dreams, including vivid, erotic ones of having sex with him. It seems the dreams actually have a point now, and there's something Liza is meant to find out.
I had fun reading this. It's a bit slow-moving and not an awful lot actually happens, but it was still pleasant to read. I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere of both contemporary and historical Nantucket, as well as the stuff going on in Liza's life in the present day. There's a lot to keep her occupied in the present as well, between a summer job at the local historical museum and a developing relationship with one of the curators, the very hunky Adam. But there's something about Lucian that intrigues her as well. I'm not the biggest fan of the love triangle setup, but this was actually really nicely done.
I also quite like the dynamics between the characters. Liza and Jane have a really nice, supportive friendship. I thought at the beginning that Jane was going to be an unbearable 'quirky' character, but though she's definitely quirky, she's really cool and grounded. I also liked how they all interacted with the rest of the people in the house, and how the two young women, together with Lucian, Aunt Kitty and Aunt Kitty's boyfriend, Jim, make up a sort of team for the summer.
And this team is very supportive of what Liza's going through. That was a bit strange, in a way, as it felt like everyone was a bit too ready to accept that Liza's visions were true. But it worked for me.
What didn't work for me so much was the stuff in the past. I mean, I liked how it related to the present, but the actual storyline probably didn't strike me as it was meant to strike me. I don't want to give too much away, because what Liza thinks is going on at first is not quite what turns out to be happening, but all I'll say is that central relationship in the past was clearly meant to be super-romantic, but I didn't find it to be so in the least.
Still, that didn't really matter too much for me, and there was more than enough in the present day that I found super-romantic to compensate :)

I was very excited to read this novel, seeing it was a reincarnation story with a touch of paranormal. But, along the way it gets so damn disappointing that it is hard to praise anything about this writing. The author is adopting the old method of attracting readers through disgustingly lusty description of love making. The protagonist is horny and stupid and there is no strength of character or anything remotely relatable for that matter. The book is a terrible drag, a never ending saga of boredom, immature description ofsex, and a total disaster overall. Avoidable!!

August 4, 2011I really wanted to like this book. I picked it up because I was intrigued by the idea behind it. While I liked the story in general, it was very cliche. You can see the entire storyline coming just a few chapters in. I can't really pinpoint what was off in the writing style, but it felt almost juvenile - like she didn't try to write for adults, even though the characters were adults. It didn't really have an identity either - like it couldn't decide whether it was a mystery, a romance, or teen lit. I did like the way she described the scenery and the transitions from vision from reality, and I liked the aunt and godbrother characters. Like I said though, I wanted to like this book a lot more because it's a fascinating concept, but it just didn't get it done.

Horrible, horrible, terrible, awful book! I nominate this book for the Worst Book Ever Award. You'd like this book if you enjoy: a simple and predictable storyline (I guessed the entire thing by page 67, when Obadiah's story is told), unlikable and childish characters who behave as if they're 16 even though they're well into their 20s, lots of sex scenes (that the last person to check this book out from the library conveniently marked for me by folding down the corners of the pages, lol) and overblown emotions of love, lust, anger, etc., etc. I mean, really, how many times does the protagonist nearly collapse from desire or surprise or... vague recognition? STUPID!

Listen, when you've written a romance novel about reincarnation, destiny, and the power of true love across time, and people rave about the historical trivia... You done fucked up.
Hands down, the only kind thing I can say about this book is that it is chock-full of great information about Nantucket history and the whaling industry. Clearly, the author spent a great deal of time and effort doing her homework.
Maybe she should have spent some of that time and effort on her character. Or prose style. Or a plot a third grader wouldn't have guessed in the first 100 pages.

Whaling, reincarnation, and a lot of not-very-interesting sex.
It was a toss-up for a while: which would win out? Irritation (blatant Shakespeare misquotes) or hilarity ('his erect member was like the masthead of a ship')?
Hilarity won. It usually does.

This was a re read for me and I loved it just as much the second time around! If reincarnation is something that interests you AT ALL, I highly recommend picking this book up.

This was such an interesting read and very out of my comfort zone. Definitely a book of fantasy, but mixed in with historic details about whaling in Nantucket. There were also many spicy scenes in the book that were unexpected and very well written. If you are looking for a book that mixes romance and thriller/fantasy this is the book for you!

Have you ever felt like this isn't the first life you've lived? What if your current life gives you insight into your former life? Kate Brailler tackles this question in her book, The Boundless Deep.
The Boundless Deep found is a riveting novel of suspense, romance and historical literature. Liza Donovan is a graduate student who has been plagued by dreams and nightmares of dying during whaling for her whole life. When given the chance by her roommate to stay on the island of Nantucket, the home of whaling in the 1800s, she jumps at the opportunity. Once there though, her normally terrifying dreams turn suddenly sexual in nature and she finds there is more to her former story than originally thought. Now she must put together the pieces of a long-lost mystery, while figuring out how the current people surrounding her fit into the story.
I really appreciated how Brailler weaves the intriguing plot and historical significance together. She mentions how the island looks and remarks on how different it was from the 1800s, and makes you really feel like these characters lived in the whaling era. through the MC, you get to learn a brief history about the whaling profession, which I'm sure history buffs will enjoy. I was skeptical at first given the supernatural nature of the preposition, but I believe that Brailler applied this aspect tastefully. It wasn't jarring or corny, and the MC's insights into her "Former life" help her with her current life.
There are some mild expletives and sex in the book, though since it's a historical romance, i'm sure you know what you're getting.
I would recommend this book to lovers of historical romance who don't mind a supernatural twist. I read this when I was in my early twenties, and it's nearly 10 years later; it still lives in my brain. I hope it sticks with you as it has stuck with me.

I found this book to be very good. It had a little history, a little romance, and a few paranormal features to it. At times you felt like you were back in Nantucket in the 1800's. I found this to be fascinating as the present was combined with the past. There are very interesting dreams that seemed to reflect what happened in the past and why the dreams kept happening, as if the story needed to be told again and forgiveness given. This was the most important part of the book for me.
I enjoyed learning about whaling and what the men went through on the seas. I also found it interesting that they would stay out for years at a time and then come to shore. I figured it was weeks and not years.
To me this had a literary feel to it even though it clearly was a romance novel. The words seemed to flow from page to page and I thought it was well written. This author is an editor of books though so that might be the reason why.
I am giving this 4 out of 5 stars as it seemed to be a bit long and there was a bit more romance than I like, but that is my personal opinion as I am not much of a romance reader.

I liked the idea of this book and I enjoyed the passages dealing with the past/whaling/Rose and Obadiah, but that's about it. I didn't care for the writing style; there were entirely too many em dashes and they got annoying. Also, the writing seemed very analytical and I think it might have hampered my enjoyment of the book somewhat. As for the story itself, was it really necessary to have the main character in denial about what's happening to her for most of the book? I know her experiences were out of the ordinary but having her say she was "making it up" a good two hundred pages into the book was a little much. "Oh, there was no crow's nest, so I must be making it up!" Seriously? I had read this once before and decided to give it another shot, but I enjoyed it even less the second time around, unfortunately. At least I got the book on clearance!

I completely judged this book by the cover and decided to pick it up simply because the cover intrigued me. This was something different from what I normally read. There were seemingly two story lines going on, bouncing between current day and the past. The overall premise of the book was based on a woman who has dreams of the past, and believes that she had lived as a Nanatucket whaler in a previously lifetime. The storyline followed her quest to discover who she was and why she is plagued with these dreams. The story lines were interesting, at some times a bit difficult to follow, but overall deeply compelling and it kept me eager to turn the pages.
If you are familiar with Nantucket I'm sure you will enjoy it even more given the references of many places along the island.

Like Kate Brallier's first book Seal Island, this starts slow, but it's a good read.
Liza is a college student from the midwest who has never seen the ocean, so she isn't sure where her dreams of serving on a whaling ship that sinks are coming from. Her roommate Jane has an aunt in Nantucket who is willing to have them stay with her for the summer.
Once on the island, Liza dreams become more vivid and she comes to believe she is a reincarnated person who had a role in a murder that's remained unsolved for 163 years.
This is catagorized as a romance, but the romance is hardly the main story and it doesn't follow romance novel standards. It's more of a gothic storyline, with intrigue, secrets, and misunderstands. Plus rich people. Lots of rich people.

This book is the equivalent to eating double fudge chocolate ice cream. You know it's bad but it's sooo good! The writing is horrible, the story line is laughable. Somehow (and don't ask me how) I saw some what of myself in Liza Donovan the main character. Mainly just her mannerisms and reactions to events and probably a little bit of her relationship with Adam the museum curator. I really began to care about her and the other characters. I couldn't put it down, I knew it was bad and I knew my friends would make fun of me for reading it, but I had to know what happened to her. Just a step above those silly harlequin romances. If your looking for a summer read full of whimsy, this might be it.

Its a slow and interesting story about Nantucket's Whaling history and Obadiah & Rose love story. I think its a very lovely concept to merge history with the current days, and of course Obadiah and Rose undying love and struggles throughout their complicated relationship.
I also think Lucian & Liza story a bit lacking sometimes...maybe there's too many back and forth between current days and flashback to 1840's. Then there's Adam, an interesting character who needs to clear "Caroline" out of his head.
Overall I think its a lovely story, sometimes it reminds me of Age of Innocence..especially the romance between Obadiah, Rose and Lucy.

I really, really enjoyed this book, far more than I thought I would. The story stuck with me the whole time I was reading it, and afterward. It had a bit of a mystery with who Liza was in a past life, and how to fix it. The dream scenes were my favorite though, the historic details were great. I could see the ship in the water, everything was so vivid. There were a couple of hot love scenes, which I wasn't expecting, but they really made me feel for Rose and Obadiah. Their story was so sad, how their love couldn't be. The ending felt a little rushed though, I didn't really like how Lucian knew everything all along and then bam, it's happy and over. Otherwise, I think this book's a keep.

This book is ridiculous. But in a fun, I have a couple hours to waste and am willing to just let this book take me where it needs to go kind of way. I could go into the gravity secondary characters that barely know out leading lady give to her dreams of a past life that involves Canadian whalers, or the very soft core sex scenes, or the Nantucket history dumps between dates but nah.
It's fun fluff and if a book involving 18th century whalers, grad students, and memories from a past life are all interests of yours then boy do I have the recc for you.
Also I 100% bought this book because I love the cover.

Wow!! I stayed up last night to finish this wonderful book. It has been years since a novel has gotten under my skin like this one has!
Part romance, part historical, part mystic this book tells the story of a young woman who has always had recurring dreams from the past. Her search for answers brings her together with a memorable cast of characters who ultimately are more important than we realize. I cannot really go into much more without spoiling the plot. This was truly a memorable novel and one that I heartily recommend!

A fun, ethereal paranormal romance set in the whaling days of the mid 1800s, thus the perfect beach read for my Nantucket vacation. The dialogue is fun, the plot fast paced, the characters fairly well developed, but I am only giving this book three stars because, as one reader put it, it's too "bodice-ripping" for my taste. And there are several jarring spelling errors that distract the reader. Green Darkness, or even A Knight in Shining Armor, are much better examples of a reincarnation romance than this enjoyable but fairly juvenile one.

Grad student and Wisconsin native, Liza Donovan, has had vivid and frightening dreams of whaling ship expeditions off the coast of New England for many years, despite the fact that she's never even seen the ocean, so when her college roommate says they can spend the summer at her aunt's house in Nantucket, Liza can't help but be drawn to the island filled with so much history, whaling history to be precise. Perhaps Liza can discover the truth behind her dreams, and what role she has to play in the process.

This is a romance novel!!! And I do mean romance. I chose it because it had a story behind it. A very... historical... weirdness story to it. But yes, it is a romance.
The whole time you're reading it you know the answer to the riddle, but you have to keep reading it because you want to know the rest of the story.
I can't say whether it's the steamiest romance I've read, since I've only read one other, and that one was good too.. but it definitely had the steamy quality :)

This was an enjoyable read... it's not amazing from a literary standpoint... but it was entertaining. However.. I disliked the last few pages... the rest of the book had been fluffy and fun and, at times, witty... but the ending "revelations" between a few characters seemed to devolve into weird conversations where they could only seem to speak in cliches... it was annoying and ruined what otherwise was an entertaining, light read.

Another beautifully written story. The way it is written invites you to experience the highs, lows and confusion along with the characters. The story pulls you in and hooks you quickly. It can be read totally on it's own, or read as a sequel to Seal Island. As with Seal Island, she shows a wonderful attention to detail without getting bogged down in verbiage, and shows a true talent for showing you the scenes and not telling you about them.

Here's the thing- I will read any book about Nantucket, no matter how bad, cheesy, or weird. I miss it so much! Hopefully I'll get back soon. Anyway, this book is interesting and includes a lot of whaling history- but is basically a supernatural love story. It can get a little weird, but I was reading it in a car with my boyfriend's family driving to Cape Cod and it was JUST what I needed.

It was an interesting story of mysterious dreams of a past life. We follow the main character as she follows the destination of her dreams to finally work out why she has been having whaling dreams all her life. It was a good story, but the ending while expected kind of fell flat, but it is a good one time read.
July 23, 2008
Yes, it's a cheesy and predictable romance, but it was a page-turner that kept me up all night in order to finish it! If you love historic romances and murder mysteries, but also appreciate a touch of mysticism, then I highly recommend this book!
