Nicola Sturgeon is writing a 'deeply personal' and potentially explosive memoir which will chart her rise to the top of Scottish politics.
'I can only speak for myself' Nicola Sturgeon refuses to say husband Peter Murrell is innocent in SNP probeNicola Sturgeon 'shocked and deeply distressed' after being arrested as part of police probe into SNP finances
Just weeks later her house was raided by police and her husband, and former SNP chief executive, Peter Murrell was arrested as part of its Operation Branchform investigation into the party’s finances. Ms Sturgeon said: "I am thrilled to be working with Pan Macmillan, a globally-renowned publisher with proud Scottish roots. I have loved my life in politics, but ever since I was a child I have harboured an ambition to write."I aim to chronicle key events of the past three decades of Scottish and British politics and take the reader behind the scenes to describe how it felt to be 'in the room', who else was there, the relationships involved and how decisions were arrived at.
She said she will dedicate the book to her late uncle. "It is slightly bitter-sweet today, though, as I head to the funeral of my uncle, the journalist Iain Ferguson. This is something that I always hoped we might work together on some day. Instead, it will be a book I dedicate to him."
