Michael, Livi (Olivia)
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.
