Nicola Sturgeon’s ‘Frankly’ in conversation with Sean McDonald

Nicola Sturgeon brings her debut book Frankly to her hometown of Irvine, where it all started. In this deeply personal memoir, she recounts her journey from working-class Ayrshire to the steps of Bute House. Revealing the person behind the politician, she explores the schism between her private and public personas: one painfully shy and self-critical, the other a consummate public performer.

Full of the verve and wit that made Sturgeon one of the most high-profile politicians in the UK. Infused throughout with a love of Scotland and its people, it honestly discusses Sturgeon’s mistakes, her battles, and her triumphs.
