LONDON: Jilly Cooper, who has died aged 88, was the best-selling British writer whose racy novels were famously filled with sex, snobbery and fun.
With suggestive titles such as “Tackle!”, “Mount!” and “Score!”, Cooper’s books were publishing sensations, selling 11 million copies in the UK alone.
Her agent Felicity Blunt said Monday that “she will live forever in the words she put on the page and on the screen… I have lost a friend, an ally, a confidante and a mentor.”
