Er wurde von einem Schrei unterbrochen, einem heiseren, beinahe brüllenden Schrei, das war die alte Kaisa, die in die Schankstube gekommen war und nun mit gekrümmten Fingern vor ihm stand.

He was interrupted by a scream, a hoarse, almost roaring scream. It was old Kaisa, who had come into the bar and now stood before him with her fingers clenched.

Mark, what do you think of : . . . stood before him with her fingers clenched. For me this gives more of an expression of strong emotion, than just 'curled'.
