Maureen Duffyová se ve své tvorbě často opírá o Freudoovy myšlenky a řeckou mytologii. Její styl se vyznačuje střídáním hlasů a proudem vědomí, často s perspektivami outsiderů, což odkazuje na evropskou literární tradici zkoumající realitu skrze jazyk a otázky spíše než lineární narativ. Její próza, ovlivněná modernismem a autory jako James Joyce, dokazuje, že román nemusí být pouze realistický a všední, ale může být fantastický, experimentální a politický. Její díla jsou ceněna pro smysl pro detail, cit pro jazyk a silné, intenzivní obrazy.
