Description:
It's summer behind the Iron Curtain, and six girls begin a journey to the Olympics. But will they come back?

In a stateless place, on the wrong side of a river separating East from West, six girls meet each day to swim. At first, they play, splashing each other and floating languidly on the water's surface. But as summer draws to an end, the game becomes something more.

They hone their bodies relentlessly. Their skin shades into bruises. They barter cigarettes stolen from the factory where they work for swimsuits to stretch over their sunburnt skin. They tear their legs into splits, flick them back and forth, like herons. They force themselves to stop breathing.

Then, one day, it finally happens- their visas arrive. But can what's waiting on the other side of the river satisfy their longing for a different kind of life?




'Cristina Sandu's spare and sparkling prose is intimate and visceral. A deeply moving story about six women who dare to dream bigger than their muddy river, whose lives splinter from their tight synchronised formations into an unflinching, often unforgiving world. An exquisite and powerful read.'
-Lindsay Zier-Vogel, author of Letters to Amelia

'Cristina Sandu's narration is magical ... Her poetic and airy prose weaves together the strongly metaphorical and the realistic ... In these moving stories about the fates of Eastern European women, her narrative is universal and titanic.'
-Suomen Kuvalehti

'Skilfully crafted and defined, airy, and multi-layered. Highly praised for the themes of detachment as well as the description of

These floating bathroom shelves are exactly what I was looking for. They’re sturdy, well-made, and look really nice once mounted.

Easy install
Color: Black, Size: 15.7", Color: Black, Size: 15.7"
w I recently installed these bathroom shelves, and they completely exceeded my expectations. The quality feels solid and durable, and once mounted, they sit perfectly level without any wobble. I love how clean and modern they look — they instantly elevated the whole feel of the bathroom. The shelving space is surprisingly generous. I’m able to store everything from toiletries to décor pieces without the shelves feeling cluttered or overloaded. The finish also holds up well in humidity, which is a big deal for a bathroom environment. Installation was straightforward, the hardware included worked perfectly, and the shelves feel like they’re built to last. Overall, these shelves deliver both style and function, and I’m extremely pleased with how they turned out. Highly recommended if you want a simple upgrade that makes a big impact.
