Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir, Frankly, has gone on sale three days early at a bookstore in Glasgow on Monday.

Copies of the former first minister’s book are being sold at Waterstones on Sauchiehall Street before its scheduled release date on Thursday, August 14.

The memoir, which Sturgeon said she “poured her heart into”, will cover “extraordinary events”, “colourful characters” and “incredible experiences”.

In the lead-up to the launch, excerpts from the book and clips from a TV interview have revealed the former SNP leader speaking candidly about the shame she felt at the police raid of her home; her regrets at how she handled the gender reform bill in Scotland; her complicated relationship with political ally turned foe, Alex Salmond, as well as her sexuality and devastating miscarriage.

Waterstones and the memoir’s publishers Macmillan have been contacted for comment.
