Previously, as ‘Yes Minister’ and Deputy Leader of the SNP, she helped to bring Scotland to the brink of independence, overseeing the Yes campaign in the independence referendum of 2014.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this deeply personal memoir, Sturgeon 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. And yet, she pulls no punches, candidly recounting her interactions with figures including Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Alex Salmond – her mentor and, ultimately, her staunch adversary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull of the verve and wit that made Sturgeon one of the most high-profile politicians in the UK, this is a unique blend of personal insight and captivating vignettes. Infused throughout with a love of Scotland and its people, it discusses Sturgeon’s mistakes, her battles, and her triumphs with candid honesty. \u003ci\u003eFrankly \u003c\/i\u003eis the compelling story of no ordinary politician.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Candid . . . fascinating' – \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Lively . . . often moving' – \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'S\u003c\/i\u003ehe is an entertaining storyteller, with a good eye for detail' – \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrankly\u003c\/i\u003e was a \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller w\/e 24.08.2025.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56694631334232,"sku":"9781035040230","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781035040230.jpg?v=1780035374","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/frankly-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
