Michael, Livi (Olivia)

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | © The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature 2003, originally published by Oxford University Press 2003. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Michael, Livi (Olivia) (1960– ), novelist, educated at the University of Leeds. Her first novel, Under a Thin Moon (1992) was followed by Their Angel Reach (1994), five interlinked stories evoking with lyrical realism the often depressing lives of women in a fictitious Lancashire village. All the Dark Air (1997) is an unsentimental but poignant portrayal of Julie, young and confused, adrift in a world of unemployment, homelessness, drugs, and doubt.
