LiteratureShe had been quietly suffering from cancer for four years, until the disease killed her yesterday. The Irish writer Lucinda Riley, especially popular with women, was only 55 years old, but has left a mark on the literary world with the success of her ‘Seven Sisters’ book series. She has sold more than 30 million novels worldwide, even though her ‘simple’ storytelling style has been laughed at in some circles. In addition, the beginning of her career was not always a bed of roses. “Because I had no money for a word processing program, I was forced to sell my wedding dress,” she once said.
