Best-selling author Joanna Trollope has died aged 82, her family has announced.<\/b><\/p>\n

The writer was affectionately known as the “queen of the Aga saga” because her novels often focused on romance and intrigue in middle England.<\/p>\n

In a statement, her daughters Louise and Antonia said their “beloved and inspirational mother” had died “peacefully at her Oxfordshire home” on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Trollope’s novels include The Rector’s Wife, Marrying The Mistress and Daughters in Law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trollope’s literary agent James Gill said in a statement: It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Joanna Trollope, one of our most cherished, acclaimed and widely enjoyed novelists. <\/p>\n

“Joanna will be mourned by her children, grandchildren, family, her countless friends and – of course – her readers.”<\/p>\n

Trollope’s books have been translated into more than 25 languages, and several have been adapted for television.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trollope was a writer for more than five decades, and one of the best known novelists in the UK.<\/p>\n

She authored 22 contemporary novels including 2013’s Sense & Sensibility, the lead title in HarperCollins’s Austen Project, as well as 10 historical novels published under the pseudonym Caroline Harvey. <\/p>\n

Trollope also occasionally wrote short stories and pieces for magazines, chaired book prizes, authored a 2006 study of women in the British Empire called Britannia’s Daughters, and edited a 1993 anthology of rural life, The Country Habit.<\/p>\n

She received an OBE in 1996 for services to charity, and was made a CBE in 2019 for services to literature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
