Her four daughters said in a statement Tuesday that she was "a true trailblazer" who broke down barriers. Fellow novelist Sophie Kinsella said Vincenzi was "like one of her own novels: once you were in her company you didn't want to say goodbye."
She is survived by daughters Polly Harding, Sophie Cornish, Emily Gunnis and Claudia Vincenzi.
