Marful has written scholarly analyses of the works of Federico García Lorca,[5] as well as several novels. Her work includes a critical essay titled "Passion and Death in Lorquian Drama" (Pasión y muerte en el drama lorquiano), published in the 1987 collection A Federico García Lorca.[6] She is the author of Lorca y sus dobles (Lorca and his doubles), an essay described by Manuel Alvar in Blanco y Negro as "the definitive work on the poet from Granada".[4]
Her novels include Te sucederá lo que al río en primavera (You will be as the river in springtime), published in 1998 and described as a "misiva de una mujer a su madre fallecida" ("letter from a woman to her deceased mother") by Ramón Massó Ortega in Historia Sinóptica de la Literatura Española.[7] She also wrote Instrucciones para olvidar (Instructions to forget), published in 2008 and described as "una magnífica novela que huele a agua de lluvia y de mar" ("a magnificent novel that smells of rain and sea water") by María Castrejón in Que Me Estoy Muriendo De Agua: Guía de narrativa lésbica española.[8]
Her 2008 novel Cuatro Cuentos de Amor y El Intocable Absurdo (Four tales of love and the untouchable absurd) won the 2008 Casino Mieres Novel Award.[2] She is the third woman to win the prize since the awards were founded in 1980.[2]
