Nas tuas m�os, originalmente lan�ado em 1997, � o segundo livro de In�s Pedrosa, uma das vozes femininas mais importantes da literatura portuguesa. No romance, a autora intercala os discursos de tr�s mulheres de uma mesma fam�lia, entrecruzando mem�rias e pensamentos que ilustram tr�s gera��es. Mas indo al�m de seus conflitos �ntimos, as personagens Jenny, Camila e Nat�lia tamb�m d�o voz a um s�culo de mudan�as hist�ricas e sociais em Portugal.

Jenny, a av�, escreve um di�rio sobre as dificuldades do amor e sobre sua dif�cil rela��o com Ant�nio, seu marido, que ela ama sem ser correspondida. Camila, a m�e, rememora, por meio de um �lbum de fotografias, sua hist�ria de dores e milit�ncia pol�tica. E finalmente Nat�lia, a filha, escreve cartas para a av�, nas quais exp�e sua complicada rela��o com a m�e e a incans�vel luta em busca da felicidade.

In�s fala do amor em um est�gio primitivo e em Nas tuas m�os, est�o representadas grande parte das teorias j� tecidas sobre este sentimento, especialmente no que se refere a sua rela��o com a aus�ncia. "O que me interessa s�o as rela��es humanas, a minha paisagem s�o pessoas, no sentido em que os locais abstratos n�o me interessam em nada. Todos n�s, mais do que consola��o, precisamos de quem nos ajude a pensar em temas diferentes ou a encar�-los de uma outra maneira. Nos meus livros procuro encontrar outras perspectivas para os assuntos que me tocam e que me interessam", explica.
