British writer Jilly Cooper, famous for her romantic and satirical novels set in high English society, died this Sunday at the age of 88 after a fall at her residence in Gloucestershire (southwest England), as confirmed this Monday by her family in a statement.
"Mom was the bright light in all our lives. Her love for all her family and friends was limitless. Her unexpected death has been a total 'shock'," reads the statement, signed by her children, Felix and Emily.
Author of the successful 'Rutshire Chronicles' series, Cooper became one of the most recognized voices in British popular literature since the 80s, with titles such as 'Riders', 'Rivals' and 'Polo', which sold millions of copies worldwide and were adapted for television.
