In a no-holds-barred review that's set social media ablaze, literary titan JK Rowling has eviscerated Nicola Sturgeon's much-hyped memoir, branding it "a masterclass in political evasion" that sidesteps crucial controversies.
The Transparent Omissions
Rowling, never one to mince words, particularly lambasts Sturgeon's handling of Scotland's explosive gender recognition reforms. "The chapter on GRA reforms reads like a hostage negotiator's script," writes the bestselling author, "all careful phrasing and strategic silences where accountability should be."
Independence Dreams vs. Reality
The review highlights Sturgeon's "selective amnesia" regarding the stalled independence movement, noting: "For a book titled 'Memoir of Leadership', there's remarkably little leadership on display when it comes to explaining why Scotland remains firmly in the Union."
Twitter Wars Reignited
Political analysts suggest Rowling's critique - shared across her 14-million-strong Twitter following - may reignite the bitter feud between Scotland's cultural icons. The review comes as Sturgeon faces parliamentary scrutiny over SNP finances, with Rowling pointedly observing: "Some receipts remain conspicuously unexamined."
