Jill Hood obituary
My friend Jill Hood, who has died aged 81, was a family lawyer in her own firm who had previously made her mark in publishing by helping to secure the sponsorship for the original Booker prize. For nearly 50 years she was also an active member of her community in West Hampstead, north London.
Born in Madras (now Chennai), India, Jill was the daughter of Joan (nee Brockhurst), an interior designer, and John Mortimer, a manager in the then Imperial Bank.
