    The previous first minister of Scotland picks 5 favourites. Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir, “Frankly”, is out this week. She will probably be speaking about her life in politics on the Southbank Centre on 29 August.

    Sunset Song

    Lewis Grassic Gibbon, 1932
    This is the novel that ignited my love of literature. Set in the northeast of Scotland during the First World War, it tells the story of a girl torn between her yearning for education and travel and her loyalty to the rural community she was born into. Rooted in a unique place at a pivotal moment in history, it is also a timeless and universal story about coming of age and the pressures and expectations of womanhood.

    Half of a Yellow Sun

    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 2006
    Set during the Biafran War, this is both a beautiful love story and an affecting account of the human impact of civil war. It educates, entertains and moves the reader – all the things a good novel should do.

    James

    Percival Everett, 2024
    A masterful
    retelling of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, from the attitude of Jim the slave. It can make you cry and snort, scream with rage – however, finally, dare to really feel only a bit hopeful about the way forward for humanity.

    The Skeleton Road

    Val McDermid, 2014
    Part of the Inspector Karen Pirie series, this is a coldcase mystery and
    historical drama rolled into one. It takes the reader from Edinburgh to the Balkans, with a detour to the spires of Oxford, and is gripping from the very first web page. And simply once you suppose it is protected to breathe once more, it delivers a last twist that may depart you reeling.

    Beloved

    Toni Morrison, 1987
    I love everything Morrison wrote, but “Beloved” stands above the rest. It is a searing indictment of the physical and psychological trauma of slavery, and the dehumanisation of those who enforce it and those subject to it. More optimistically, it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring bonds between mothers and daughters.
