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

Bummed they fell apart they are super cute
Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Raiden Camel Suede, Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Raiden Camel Suede
I’m so bummed because these shoes are so cute and highly rated but mine fell apart after only a few wears. They say light outdoor activities and I would assume they mean walking up and down the block in the neighborhood. My son is only 15 months old and doesn’t walk fast or far at all so it’s really disappointing they fell apart.

Easy for little toddler hands
Size: 18-24 Months Toddler, Color: Lacey White Leather
I almost didn’t buy these because of the price but I’m glad I did. My toddler can put them on and take them off herself which allows her to feel independent. They are stylish enough to match anything and I like that they are close toed so we don’t have to worry about dangerous things touching her toes. The leather is high quality and the fact that they are thin soled is perfect for little walkers.

Robee infant shoes
Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Lacey White Leather
I like the flexibility and the comfort that these shoes give. You don't need socks in them because there aren't any rubbing points for the little. they are also stylish and quality! She can't take them off and they don't just kick off in the car seat. the ankle strap is Velcro and durable.

These shoes are great for babies
Size: 9-12 Months Infant, Color: Lacey White Leather
Love this brand. Researched lots of shoes and wasted money buying others. We got a couple of pairs hand me downs and bought two more from this company. My baby really likes them, she is a little smaller and they fit great.
