Author Dame Jilly Cooper has died at the age of 88, a spokesperson has said.

 

Dame Jilly Cooper's agent Felicity Blunt says it's been the privilege of her career to work with "a woman who has defined culture, writing and conversation since she was first published over 50 years ago".

 

"Jilly will undoubtedly be best remembered for her chart-topping series The Rutshire Chronicles and its havoc-making and handsome show-jumping hero Rupert Campbell-Black.

 

"You wouldn't expect books categorised as bonkbusters to have so emphatically stood the test of time but Jilly wrote with acuity and insight about all things - class, sex, marriage, rivalry, grief and fertility.

 

"Her plots were both intricate and gutsy, spiked with sharp observations and wicked humour. She regularly mined her own life for inspiration and there was something Austenesque about her dissections of society, its many prejudices and norms."

RIP Cotswold queen
