The Union of Synchronised Swimmers by Cristina Sandu (Scribe UK)

Young girls in a country behind the iron curtain dream about life in the west and prepare for the Olympics. 

Are they ready for different kind of living, their understanding of the freedom?

Collection of short stories, each of one of the girls, now young women. Brief passages of their lives afterward their escape from the east. More of inner flow of thoughts and moments.

Overall good read, but nothing special, not very relatable.
