Keeping her throat in the grip of his hands

Hi everyone!

I need some help with this sentence:

He would seize her throat and advance, bending her backward, or he would retreat-it didn't matter- keping her throat in the grip of his hands.

could it be..." manteniendo sus manos aferradas a su garganta".

Thanks!

it is OK but lucks the force of the word grip...
"manteniendo sus manos apretando su garganta"

You're right, I agree. But the two words "manteniendo" and "apretando" don't sound good toghether.

My humble suggestion:

"... con sus manos como garras aferradas a su garganta" (or "apretando su garganta")

Hope it helps!

Hmmmm yo solo podría:

agarrándola firmemente por el cuello

No creo que indique que se apriete con grip

Yes, but as Smabres said, the word "grip" implies some force, a tight hold.

María, but does it mean strangling her? I would guess not. One thing is to grip and another to strangle.

Agarrar us to grip, apretar, is strangling.

I see your point.
