“We are so proud of @Fern_Britton and her extraordinary novel #DaughtersOfCornwall which is a Sunday Times No.5 bestseller!
“Congratulations Fern,” Harper Fiction tweeted.
“Congratulations @Fern_Britton! Who here has picked up #DaughtersofCornwall?” the publicity team later added.
“Aw shucks,” Fern tweeted as she re-shared the post with her 84,900 followers.

Reading her book on social media was obviously a hit with fans, as last week Fern’s latest release reached a huge milestone.
The 63-year-old writer informed her followers that it had sold over 10,000 copies in one week.
Sharing a picture of her book in front of the fire, she wrote: “By my fireside… an unbelievable 10,000 of you bought #DaughterofCornwall in the last 5 days.
“I owe you 10,000 [kisses] x1000 kisses. Thank you.”
