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

Love it!
Size: 24 inch (Black), Size: 24 inch (Black)
Great rustic looking towel bar, compared to the price of actually buying the bar at the hardware store and making it! It’s also actually metal, compared yo some that are plastic made to look like metal.

Simple, sturdy and strong.
My spouse wanted this to mount above our kitchen window to hang plants. As much as I could absolutely care less about looks and design, this did look really cool and works great. It’s made of good strong quality metal and has everything you need to mount it.

Nice wall decorations or towel racks.
Nice towel bar or Cutting board display in this case. The industrial pipe towel bar is just what it says. The pipe is made of 3/4 water pipe that has been painted, pre cut and instructions to screw them together to make a pipe. The only thing I had negative to say about this purchase is the plastic wall anchors that come with it are not very good. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get you some good ones. When I installed the ones that came with the towel rack, they were real brittle and stripped out when tightening the pipe to the wall. I just had to replace the wall anchors and everything went smooth from there. I bought these in two separate purchases. You only get one bar per order. The 31.5 inch on top and then purchased the 24 inch on the bottom. So please look at what the ad says, the video and photos were only to show how we placed them on our walls.
