I thought I had read North From Rome before, back in High School, but I didn't remember anything of the plot or the characters. I may have only borrowed it from the library, but I doubt I read it.
Bill Lammiter, a Playwright, has followed his girlfriend to Rome, in the end breaking up with her. He has decided to leave Rome, when he hears a woman screaming outside his hotel window. He suddenly is involved in an international situation that he didn't bargain for.

Held up wonderfully - I think I actually enjoyed it more than when I first read it! MacInnes still holds the attention, and there is a certain timelessness to her books.

I don't know why I bothered to read the whole book. So I could use it for my reading challenge I suppose. But really, the thing lumbered along tediously for pages and pages. I've read two decent MacInnes books and I guess I keep hoping to find another, but no dice.
