Astragal by Albertine Sarrazin
After leaping a prison wall and shattering her ankle, a young fugitive is rescued by a charismatic drifter who hides her as she heals, and their intense love affair unfolds in seedy rooms and backstreets while the law closes in. Navigating poverty, forged identities, and the pull of petty crime, she claws at freedom even as dependency, desire, and the ache of injury tether her, turning survival into a raw exploration of autonomy, risk, and the costs of devotion.
