Loved Jilly especially Rivals which I’ve read countless times. Best namer of animals in fiction ever, and just so funny.

So sad. I actually went back this year and reread all her books plus the new ones I'd not read like Jump.

A very talented woman.

I reread rivals and riders on my kindle on a beach holiday with no wifi in 2018. Made the holiday - just as good as when I read my mums paperbacks in 1990

Lovely piece about her on Radio 4's Last Word today. It's on BBC sounds if you have the app.
