In her study of these Caribbean rewritings of novels by the Bronté' s sisters, Maria Cristina Fumagalli addresses how Condé and Rhys creolize their British models in different ways and for different reasons.

Fumagalli interprets both cases as the expression of Caribbean identity always in the making, a process that questions established European categories. (from Journal of Caribbean Literatures);
