An Evening with Nicola Sturgeon – In Conversation with Sally Magnusson at the Gryffe Valley Book Festival
Friday 5th Sep, 7PM
Kilmacolm Primary School
Join former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon for a candid evening at the Gryffe Valley Book Festival as she discusses her compelling memoir, Frankly, in conversation with acclaimed broadcaster and author Sally Magnusson.
In Frankly, Nicola Sturgeon reflects on her political life, leadership, and personal journey. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear her speak about the pivotal moments of her career, the challenges of public life, and the lessons learned along the way.
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.
Full 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. Frankly is the compelling story of no ordinary politician.
The evening will include an audience Q&A, giving attendees the chance to ask questions directly, followed by a book signing with Nicola Sturgeon and Sally Magnusson whose books will be available on the night.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with one of Scotland’s most influential and controversial political figures.

Joseph Gunner is back on the streets of Glasgow after being wounded on the front lines in France. Keeping the pain in his leg at bay with the help of morphine, Gunner, a former detective, is hoping to lie low as the Luftwaffe begins bombing Glasgow.
But when he runs into his old boss Drummond, he is persuaded to help examine a body found in the wreckage. When it turns out to be that of a German, mutilated to disguise his identity, Gunner reluctantly agrees to investigate. As he begins to hunt for the truth Gunner runs into old flames and bitter enemies, before finding himself embroiled in a high-level conspiracy that reaches far beyond his hometown of Glasgow.
Praise for Gunner
‘..a vivid sense of place and time and what a main character!’ Ian Rankin
‘Great storytelling . . .I loved it’ Peter James

Author Tawseef Khan in Conversation with Selina Hales at the Gryffe Valley Book Festival
Saturday 6th September, 1:00 PM
Carrick Centre, Houston
Join us for an enthralling afternoon with Jhalak Prize-longlisted author Tawseef Khan as he discusses his powerful new novel, Determination, in conversation with Selina Hales, founder and CEO of Refuweegee. We are delighted to have Refuweegee are our charity partner for this year’s festival.
This special event offers a rare opportunity to hear from Tawseef Khan, an acclaimed writer and practising lawyer whose work explores themes of justice, identity, and belonging. Determination, his debut work of fiction, marks a bold new step in his literary journey -telling a timely, gripping story that blends legal insight with deeply human storytelling.
Tawseef will be chaired by Selina Hales, whose work with Refuweegee has transformed the narrative around welcome, solidarity, and community for refugees and asylum seekers across Scotland. Together, they will delve into the inspiration behind Determination, and reflect on how fiction can challenge systems and reimagine futures.
There will be time for an audience Q&A, as well as a chance to buy the book and to meet the author to have your copy of Determination signed.
Jamila Shah is twenty-nine and exhausted. An immigration solicitor tasked with running the precious family law firm, Jamila is prone to being woken in the middle of the night by frantic phone calls from clients on the cusp of deportation. Working under the shadow of the government’s ‘hostile environment’, she constantly prays and hopes that their ‘determinations’ will result in her clients being allowed to stay.
With no time for friends, family or even herself (never mind a needy partner), Jamila’s life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of sorts forces her to seek change – to pursue her own happiness while navigating the endless expectations that the world seems to have of her, and still committing herself to a career devoted to helping others.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking afternoon of literature, justice, and community.
