Former Scottish first minister also reflects on gender recognition and the Covid crisis in new memoir
Frankly by Nicola Sturgeon review – the ex-first minister opens up
Nicola Sturgeon’s much-anticipated political memoir Frankly is now on sale after a cascade of hype and teasing interviews.
The once stratospherically popular Scottish Nationalist leader, who led her party to repeated electoral success before becoming by her own admission a polarising force in Scottish politics, reflects on her working-class upbringing and the “burning sense of destiny” that drove her.
As Scotland’s first female first minister, she participated in some of the most significant moments of modern political history – the independence referendum, the Brexit vote and its aftermath, and the Covid pandemic.
