So sad that she won't be writing any more. It would be great if her publishers would bring out a new edition of Fitzempress' Law.

Barry Norman wrote a beautiful tribute to his wife in yesterday's Daily Mail. Have some tissues ready.

So heart-breaking...

Very sad. Good way for her to go but horribly upsetting for her family.

I read this, it was very touching. It sounds like she had a peaceful end, but it must have been awful for him to find her like that.

Such a beautiful tribute - gosh he writes well, and at such a time.

I must say, she chose a fine way to go, although I hope it was a Patrick O'Brian she had already read, so she didn't miss out on the way it ended!
