She said at the time that she delayed the announcement to let her children adjust to their new normal. Kinsella also said that she underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to treat the disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are heartbroken to announce the passing this morning of our beloved Sophie (aka Maddy, aka Mummy). She died peacefully, with her final days filled with her true loves: family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy,&#8221; Kinsella&#8217;s family wrote on Instagram. &#8220;We can&#8217;t imagine what life will be like without her radiance and love of life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kinsella published 10 &#8220;Shopaholic&#8221; novels, beginning with &#8220;<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/confessions-of-a-shopaholic-author-sophie-kinsella-unveils-her-true-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Confessions of a Shopaholic<\/a><\/span>&#8221; in 2000. The first two &#8220;Shopaholic&#8221; books were adapted into the 2009 film &#8220;Confessions of a Shopaholic,&#8221; starring Isla Fisher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her 2024 novella &#8220;What Does It Feel Like?&#8221; was a semi-fictional account of her cancer diagnosis, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/ce91d2m1gg7o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS News partner BBC News<\/a>. In an introduction to the book, Kinsella said she had &#8220;always processed my life through writing.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hiding behind my fictional characters, I have always turned my own life into a narrative. It is my version of therapy, maybe,&#8221; Kinsella wrote, according to the BBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kinsella also published books, including her debut novel, under her real name. In total, she wrote 28 books including 10 &#8220;Shopaholic&#8221; novels, one young adult novel and four children&#8217;s books, according to the BBC. Her books have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide and have been translated into dozens of languages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite her illness, which she bore with unimaginable courage, Sophie counted herself truly blessed &#8211; to have such wonderful family and friends, and to have had the extraordinary success of her writing career,&#8221; her family said on social media. &#8220;She
