I can't really judge the book 100% because I didn't finish it--but I gave it a good, sporting chance and read to about page 220.

    <body><![CDATA[I desperately wanted to read this book. I love the setting (Elizabethan England) and what I read, it was described very well.<br/><br/>However, I couldn't connect with the characters. It's done from two POVs but each POV is done in first person, and it often got confusing who was talking. I though...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44390979">more...</a>]]></body>

Once again, though, Mitchell proves herself as an adept writer with a deft hand for poetry as well.]]></body>

Time and again the two main characters have a misunderstanding, and then it is resolved. That's about all there is. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I agree with a lot of reviews already posted on this site.  <em>A Constant Heart</em> was pretty blah as far as the plot goes, the characters were poorly written, and the change in point of view from Marget to Lytham was often abrupt and very confusing.
