For many of her opponents, she was a master of spider and confidentiality.
But now Nicola Sturgeon has revealed that the title of her upcoming memoirs will be 'frankly'.
Invoated as a 'unique mix of personal insight and fascinating vignettes', the cover of the long -awaited book by Mrs Sturgeon was unveiled yesterday prior to the launch this summer.
According to his Blurb on the online shop site Amazon, it is 'remarkable because of its honesty and self -reflection'.
It also describes Mrs. Sturgeon, whose party is currently entangled by a financial scandal, as a campaigner. Leader. Pioneer.'
But critics suggested that the track record of the former prime minister meant that it should be filled in the 'fantasy section' of bookshops, adding that she had a 'copper neck' to give it such a title.
Mrs Sturgeon has been working on the book since at least 2023, when publisher Pan Macmillan picked up British rights in a fiercconted auction.
The book, for which she has received an advance of £ 300,000, promises to be a 'personal and revealing memoirs' that maps Mrs Sturgeon's journey of 'working class' Ayrshire to the prime minister of Scotland.

Amazon describes the book, which will be released on August 14, as: 'Full of the verve and humor that Sturgeon made as one of the most high -profile politicians in the UK, this is a unique mix of personal insight and fascinating vignettes. Crossed with a love for Scotland and his people, it honestly discusses the mistakes of Sturgeon, her fighting and her triumphs. '
But critics said that her track record of not remembering important information during questions in the Alex Salmond affair, Covid and the Ferries Fiasco meant that the book had to be taken with a pinch of salt.
In 20201, Mrs. Sturgeon was confronted with almost eight hours of interrogation of the Scottish Parliament committee and looked at the handling by the decentralized government of the Alex Salmond affair.
She was accused of not remembering 'delay, obstruction and obfuscation' after 'the most important information of the most important information 50 times during the hearing.
Later she told the UK Covid research that she had removed her WhatsApp -exchanges on COVID in accordance with the policy, but insisted that she was 'certain' that all 'striking points' about government policy would be documented on the business record.
A FOI request required a breakdown of messages from the then Prime Minister who had been transferred to Holyrood's Electronic Records and Documents Management System since January 2020.
In response, the Scottish government said that “the answer is zero.”
The Scottish conservative deputy leader Rachael Hamilton said: 'Book shops may have to store this in their fantasy section, given the copper neck -title chosen by Nicola Sturgeon.
“In contrast to the former prime minister, Scots will not forget how her memory suddenly failed when she was grilled in the studies of Covid and Salmond or about her role in the ferry scandal.”
In a post on social media, Mrs. Sturgeon said: “I poured my heart into this book, it tells the story of my personal journey, it tells about the extraordinary events that I have had privilege to live and live through.”
She said it will be a look behind the scenes, including her interactions with 'colorful characters'.
Mrs. Sturgeon continued: 'The title is summarized what the book is: Open, Honest Candid. About my mistakes and my heartache, as well as my triumphs and performance. '
Prime Minister John Swinney, who previously served as Mrs Sturgeon's deputy, said, “I'm sure it will be a good reading.”
Asked if he had experience with Mrs Sturgeon who, frankly, spoke, he replied: “That is another question. I'm sure I did that. Maybe the strange opportunity? I am sure it will be a wonderfully readable.
“And just for absolute clarity, I have no immediate plans to write my memoirs because I intend to be in office for a long time.”
In the months after announcing her resignation as Prime Minister in February 2023, her husband – and former SNP Chief Executive – Peter Murrell was arrested in connection with a police pool in the finances of the SNP.
He was later arrested again and charged in connection with the alleged eclipse of party funds.
Mrs. Sturgeon was also arrested with regard to the same probe, just like former party treasurer Colin Beattie.
They were both released without an indictment pending further questions.
