That Saturday Night is the story of how the author, when she was fourteen years old in wartime Scotland, encountered her estranged father for the first and only time. The central incident is told both in the voice of the girl and in the imagined voice of the father, a marine engineer on the Atlantic convoys. She struggles to make sense of that meeting, and to come to terms with the absent presence in her life and in the lives of her mother and siblings. The story, which evolves in a mix of prose narrative and poetry, moves from her girlhood in Scotland to her adult life in Canada, where age, time and distance have brought understanding and reconciliation.
