Not sure if this has been mentioned, but author Jilly Cooper has died aged 88.
For Brits of a certain age, her novels - Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man who made husbands jealous - were often our first introduction to sex from a woman's perspective. I know it was mine. Sneaking them off my aunt's bookshelf on visits and reading about Kitty enjoying Lysander's oral skills, or Perdita's journey of sexual discovery, was my first experience of female sexual enjoyment in print. It was eye opening.
Also, frequently hilarious.
She was by all accounts a thoroughly good egg too, so will be missed.
