Remembering Jilly Cooper
Felicity Blunt, literary agent at Curtis Brown, remembers her friend and client, the bestselling author Jilly Cooper.
Jilly Cooper understood intimacy better than anyone, not just between her characters, but with her readers. She spun her own life through her books, which were peppered with words like “orgasmic”, “heavenly” and “ravishing” but delivered sharp-witted insights into marriage, rivalry, fertility and infidelity.
She was my Taylor Swift and I had loved her from the moment I first read her back in 1991, when I had spotted the hardcover of Riders, emblazoned with a blonde in jodhpurs astride a grey horse, face out on a shelf in Roehampton Library.
Author's summary: Jilly Cooper was a much-loved friend and mentor.
