Caitríona Ní Murchú reads 
Assignation
The story unfolds over one day in Manhattan in 1938, culminating in a certain realization for Marian, a young Irish woman working for a wealthy American family. In writing this, Mary Costello has said how she 'thought about what independence means at a personal level - freedom, choice, personal autonomy - and how scarce that was in the early decades of our own independence, our young Free State in the grip of poverty, the Church, emigration. In the 1920s + 30s emigration was like a death. People would not be returning’.
