Circumstance by Rosie Milne Circumstance was inspired by The Force of Circumstance , a short story by W. Somerset Maugham set in 1920s Malaya. Frank is a colonial administrator in a remote district deep in the jungle. Rose is the innocent young bride he’s just brought out from England. Nony is the native mistress he’d previously abandoned, along with their four children. When Rose arrives in Malaya, she knows nothing of her new husband’s past… but how long can she remain ignorant? Frank, Rose and Nony soon become entangled in vines of secrecy and lying, snagged by thorns of bribery and blackmail, and caught in sticky webs of bluff and counter-bluff.

Registration preferred; walk-ins are welcome.
