Ihre Werke erforschen Themen wie Identität, Erinnerung und kulturelle Hybridität und verweben oft die lebendigen mündlichen Überlieferungen und Mythologien der Region. Nichols verbindet meisterhaft persönliche und kollektive Erzählungen und schafft Poesie und Prosa, die sowohl intim als auch episch sind. Ihr Schreiben stellt einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Literatur dar, der die Schönheit und Komplexität der karibischen Erfahrung offenbart.
