Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s former First Minister, is set to release a revealing memoir titled Frankly, which delves into her turbulent relationship with ex-mentor Alex Salmond and the internal conflicts that rocked the Scottish National Party (SNP).
The book, due for publication next year, promises an unfiltered account of Sturgeon’s political journey, including the bitter fallout with Salmond and the challenges she faced during her tenure.
A Fractured Friendship
Sturgeon’s memoir is expected to shed light on her once-close bond with Salmond, which deteriorated amid allegations of sexual misconduct against him and the subsequent legal battles. The former First Minister has described the experience as "painful" but necessary for transparency.
Political Fallout
The memoir will also address the internal divisions within the SNP, particularly during the push for Scottish independence. Sturgeon’s leadership was marked by both triumphs and controversies, including the handling of the independence referendum and the party’s response to Brexit.
What to Expect
- Behind-the-scenes accounts of key political moments

With Frankly, Sturgeon aims to set the record straight, offering a candid perspective on her career and the state of Scottish politics.
