Rosamunde Pilcher, author of the sweeping, bestselling family saga The Shell Seekers, has died aged 94.
Her son, the author Robin Pilcher, confirmed the news to the Guardian . “She had been in great form up until Christmas, then suffered from bronchitis in the new year, but was always expected to bounce back as before. However, she suffered a stroke on Sunday night and never regained consciousness,” he said.
Robin described Pilcher as “a wonderful, rather alternative-thinking mother – I think she might have liked the description bohemian – who touched and influenced the lives of many of all ages, not only through her writing but through personal friendships”.
Pilcher followed The Shell Seekers with bestsellers including Coming Home and September, both of which were filmed for television. She announced her retirement at the age of 80, with her final novel.
