BiographyRivera de la Cruz was born into a family of well-known journalists. At the age of 18 she moved to Madrid, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in information with a specialty in political communication from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She spent a quarter studying at Oxford University on a scholarship. She continues to live in Madrid. She wrote her doctoral thesis in the Department of Philology at the Universidad Complutense and is a member of the editorial team of the on-line magazine of the Department, Espéculo. She began her literary career in 1996 with the novel El refugio (The Refuge), for which she received the Premio de Novela Corta Joven y Brillante (1996). Two years later, in 1998, she won the Premio Ateneo of Seville for the novel Que veinte años no es nada (Twenty Years is Nothing), in which she relates the unchanging passion that Luisa feels for a famous writer, Cósimo Herrera, twenty years her elder. The novel went through five editions. In 2000 Rivera de la Cruz published two novels, Linus Daff, inventor de historias (Linus Daff, Inventor of Stories) and Viajar a Chipre (Traveling to Cyprus). Besides her novels, Rivera de la Cruz has also written essays. In 2001 she published a book of essays entitled Fiestas que hicieron historia (Fiestas That Made History). She has also written short stories, such as "El beso del andén" (The Kiss of the Platform). Hotel Almirante (Admiral Hotel), a novel, appeared in 2002. The story centers around the discovery of the body of a beautiful young woman in a luxury hotel. The following year, 2003, she published Tristezas de amor (Sadnesses of Love), another book of essays, and Grandes de España (Great People of Spain). Her most recent novel, En tiempo de prodigios (In the Time of Wonders), was the runner-up for the Premio Planeta in 2006. The novel tells the story of Cecilia, a woman on whom life does not smile during the time period of the book, but who discovers the true meaning of life thanks to a story that Silvio, the grandfather of her best friend, tells her bit by bit. Even his family is not aware of his command of the German language and his past as a spy in World War II. In addition to her writing, Rivera de la Cruz has worked as an editor. She was responsible for the anthology Cuentos de Navidad and for the latest edition of the work of Alejo Carpentier, La ciudad de las columnas (The City of Columns).
