"escapism."
Jilly Cooper, born in 1937, died unexpectedly at age 88, a death described by her family as coming as a complete shock. She achieved fame for The Rutshire Chronicles, novels portraying the sex lives and excesses of the well-off, horse-riding set in 1980s England, selling millions of copies in the U.K. alone. Rivals was adapted into a hit Disney+ series starring David Tennant and Alex Hassell. Cooper began in local journalism in Brentford, gained a 13-year Sunday Times column after a 1969 piece on being an 'undomesticated' homemaker, later wrote for the Mail on Sunday, and published her first book, How to Stay Married, in 1969. Her readership included figures such as Rishi Sunak.
