Jilly Cooper passes away at 88

We just got the news that British writer Jilly Cooper, known for her lively portrayals of Britain's upper class, has passed away, her agent said in a statement on Monday. Rising to fame in the 1980s with her bold and humorous novels, Cooper became a household name thanks to characters like Rupert Campbell-Black and the glamorous world she created around him.
