"The author, whose 18 novels include Riders and Rivals, defined culture, writing and conversation since she was first published over fifty years ago, said her agent Felicity Blunt. 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."
"Cooper died Sunday morning after a fall. Her unexpected death has come as a complete shock, said her children Felix and Emily. We are so proud of everything she achieved in her life and can't begin to imagine life without her infectious smile and laughter all around us. Cooper is best known for The Rutshire Chronicles, which follow the scandals of the upper classes in the fictional Cotswolds county of Rutshire."
Jilly Cooper, aged 88, died after a fall on Sunday morning. Her career spanned more than fifty years and produced 18 novels, including Riders and Rivals. Her books, often labelled bonkbusters, examined class, sex, marriage, rivalry, grief and fertility with acuity and insight. Cooper gained fame for The Rutshire Chronicles, depicting scandals among the upper classes in the fictional Cotswolds county of Rutshire. Rivals, the second Rutshire novel, was adapted for Disney+ and released last year. Her children, Felix and Emily, called her unexpected death a complete shock and celebrated her achievements and infectious smile.
