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

Good replacement parts and affordable
I acquired this filter set to replace the OEM filters in my wife's Honda Accord. The filters fit perfect and were easy to install. Normally when I replace filters I have to purchase both the air filter and the cabin filter separately. In this case, it was very nice to have them sold as a combo set. While I don't know what materials are used to manufacture these filters, I will say that the air filter looks just like the OEM part in terms of it's production. The cabin filter does have carbon built in to help control orders, which is something the OEM part did not have, so it looks different in terms of filter color. I normally replace filters every 10K to 15K miles, and this fits in line with that this manufacturer suggests (every 12K miles). In all, a decent combo set of filters helps keep costs down and both filters can be replaced at the same time.

Perfect!!!
This is exactly what I needed. Fits perfectly for my 2018 Honda Accord as well as being very easy to install. This is coming from someone who has no idea about doing anything on my car. Provides the best function, just as it would coming from a dealer or other auto shop. The quality is great as well, and this is exceptional value for the money. If you are looking to save money and not get bombarded with the filter replacement question when getting an oil change then this is the one for you.

Fit is good.
Filters fit and look essentially the same as the filters I’ve purchased and the official types from the dealer. I live in an area where wildfires occur almost every year, so it’s good to have an extra set of filters to change them out after a run of smoky days.
