That Which Can Be Heard by Shruti Chauhan

Description

‘Shrutis work is exquisite. A still, clear voice.’ Jean Binta Breeze MBE

Its title taken from the meaning of her Sanskrit name, Shruti Chauhan’s debut bursts with the rich sounds and stories of her life as a British Indian woman. Lyrical,
enchanting and heartfelt, That Which Can Be Heard moves between two cultures, between innocence and wisdom, between the past and the now.
