Set in 1950s Italy, "Voice from the Stone" is the gothic and ghost story of Verena, a nurse, and Jakob, a young boy who has fallen silent since the sudden death of his mother Malvina. Jakob is affected by selective mutism. He has decided not to speak believing that silence can bring mummy back and considers Verena as an enemy. Verena's mission is to break Jakob's wall. Jakob fights for his isolation and communicates only with a falcon and the old stones of the ancient country house where they live. As in Henry James' masterpiece "The Turn of the Screw", also in Raffo's haunting psychological thriller everything can be interpreted in a supernatural or non supernatural way and this ambiguity has very amazing results. The inspiration for the novel has came to the author from a real encounter with a boy who chose silence after her mother had abandoned him. Some years later, visiting a little cemetery in Switzerland, Raffo found the names Jakob and Verena written on a grave. Perfect names for his characters tormented by the mysterious voice from the stone.

When Illian, a thirteen year-old boy, is awakened by a chilling dream, he's thrown into the midst of an age-old battle. Now, he must face a monstrous king, dangerous perils, dragons, and evil beasts. All to bring the true king back to power. Though lacking the qualities of a skilled warrior, the true King of Varveria anoints Illian as the "Chosen One" and gives him a stone prophesied to crush the evil king's tyranny. Plain to the ordinary eye, the Stone contains great powers. It's up to Illian and a small band of friends, each with unique gifts, to discover the Stone's true purpose. Will Illian face his fears and destroy the evil king, or will darkness prevail? Travel with Illian to an ancient land layered in truth and mystery, where falcons talk, warriors ride fiery chariots, evil has wings, and one boy with one stone can change everything.

Moniza Alvi's title sequence How The Stone Found Its Voice is a series of poems inspired by creation myths. Begun in the wake of the tragedy of 9/11, they are imbued with the dark spirit of that time, with titles including 'How The World Split In Two', 'How The Answers Got Their Questions' and 'How The Countries Slipped Away'. These are followed by poems in which Moniza Alvi takes a more autobiographical approach to racial conflict and the split between East and West, and by The Return of My Wife' a continuation of a sequence from her earlier book Carrying My Wife. Versions of the French poet Jules Supervielle (1884-1960) with their Second World War background and exploration of personal fragility provide a linking thread. How the Stone Found Its Voice is a varied collection with echoes across its different sections, all equally vital to the whole.
