Author Jilly Cooper has died at the age of 88.

The author, whose 18 novels include Riders and Rivals, “defined culture, writing and conversation since she was first published over 50 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.”

She died on Sunday following a fall.

We would like to hear your tributes and memories of author Jilly Cooper – whether you met her, or appreciated her work.
