The A Woman of Substance author died peacefully at her home on Sunday following a short illness, 'and was surrounded by loved ones to the very end', a spokeswoman said.
Her books often charted the rags to riches stories of young women from humble backgrounds who become successful in the world of business thanks to years of hard graft - in echoes of her own trajectory as 'a girl from Yorkshire that worked hard and made good'.
She was often labelled 'the grand dame of blockbusters', with her 40 published books selling more than 91 million copies to date, and having been published in more than 40 languages and in 90 countries.
