Duffy was awarded the Benson Medal for lifelong achievement by the Royal Society of Literature, her writing noted for powerfully intense imagery, with an ear for language and an eye for detail. A life long activist covering such issues as gay rights and animal rights. "Duffy has inspired many other writers and proved that the English novel need not be realistic and domestic, but can be fantastical, experimental and political" [Maggie Gee].
Illuminations intertwines past and present, with themes ranging from female sexuality to politics, power and religion.
