Career
editLudmilla Lacueva Canut was originally trained in the hospitality industry, and liked to collect anecdotes about former hotels in Andorra.[1] Her first published work was Los pioneros de la hoteleria andorrana, a history of the hotel industry of Andorra. She was awarded the Research Prize by the General Council of Andorra for her work on the book.[2] When it was published in 2001, it became the best selling book in the run up to Saint George's Day, where it is tradition for women to give men a book.[1] Although that was a non-fiction work,[2] she has since moved into fiction while continuing to write opinion pieces for newspaper Bondia.[3]
Her second novel, L’home de mirada clara,[4] explored the isolationism and then development of late 19th century Andorra through the eyes of Charles Romeu.[5][6] Lacueva Canut has also worked with the Andorran Ministry of Education and collaborated on the non-fiction books Andorra, nova aproximació a la història d’Andorra and Papers de recerca històrica. She routinely produces limited edition runs of Christmas stories, which are intended to be fiction but contain some non-fiction elements. Her works are kept in the Andorran National Library. She has placed twice in the Andorran National Literary Contest; in 2011 she was a finalist with Cursa d’esquí amb el bus exprés, and in 2012 she came second with El Bus de la memòria.[1]
