In His Hour

This book was ridiculous even for Glyn, although I did enjoy aspects of the heroine's characterisation, and I appreciated the Russian setting. Still -- can you believe that a woman who had been married for several years before she was widowed would be unable to tell whether or not she'd been raped while unconscious by her tempestuous Russian love interest?

The fact that he leaves her to stew in suspense as preparations for their wedding are underway -- because he wants her to love him i This book was ridiculous even for Glyn, although I did enjoy aspects of the heroine's characterisation, and I appreciated the Russian setting. The fact that he leaves her to stew in suspense as preparations for their wedding are underway -- because he wants her to love him in spite of anything he may have done to her -- didn't improve matters.

This would have been one star, except that I really did enjoy the book up until the end, and it's not like I expect Glyn's work to be remotely aligned with my own feminist liberal ideology. Jan 19, Sonal Panse rated it it was ok. Word of advice - if you ever meet a human being like Gritzko and he says "Moia Doushka" to you, run in the opposite direction.

Jun 21, Su rated it liked it Shelves: I read this book when I was about 13 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to THANK the group members who tried to help over the years, especially to ANA who, in fact, came up with the actual book suggestion. As for the book; on my second reading I wasn't impressed as much as when I first read it. Everything has more impact on youth. Within time we get jaded in our reading taste as well as anything else in life. Unfortunately, passage of time cost us the inoconcent delight we get from many things in life.

La storia d'amore si accende e incendia rapidamente, Con i suoi romanzi, Elinor Glyn gira un po' tutto il mondo del suo tempo ancora ignaro della globalizzazione che ne avrebbe fatto un'unica massa amorfa cercando di cogliere il carattere profondo di ogni paese. La storia d'amore si accende e incendia rapidamente, come un'unica, sfolgorante fiammata, trascinando il lettore nel suo mondo esotico e un po' fiabesco.

Sep 19, Jennifer Heise rated it did not like it Shelves: If you meet this guy in real life, RUN! Jul 11, Miriam rated it did not like it Shelves: Also, I was interested in seeing how Glyn portrays pre-Revolution Russia. Glyn actually is not a bad writer overall; she keeps things interesting.

The main hero is portrayed much the way that sheiks and similar characters are still used in romance novels today--dangerous and exotic, but very attractive. Her portrayal of Russians is about what I expected, but I agree with the other reviewer that the ending ruins it all. Perhaps Glyn is to blame for the piles of romance novels where the man does everything short of raping the woman and in some cases actually does , and the woman loves it. If so, thanks a lot, Glyn. Gritzko is an asshole.

Seriously, as I continued to read this book, I started to hate Girtzko more and more. I enjoyed reading this for the most part, but the ending just ruins it for me. I'm glad he didn't really force himself on, her but letting her think that he really did so that she will marry him and love him regardless of what he does, ruined the ending for me. It's a shame too because the writing was good and kept me interesting in find out what would happen next. A very unusual main character.

The prince was a puzzle but you knew he was honest. Perhaps more honest than any of us are deep down.

I could relate with him in a way that I would never want to admit to. He could be compared to a modern day cave man. I do not know but I am glad I read this book. I was surprised by the ending.

The basis for this universal worship is the fact that, by becoming incarnate, the Son has enabled men and women to share in his filial worship of the Father. The "hour" is also the time when the work of the Son is made manifest: For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself" Jn 5: The great hour in world history occurs when the Son gives his life, making his saving voice heard to those who are under the power of sin.

It is the hour of Redemption.

At an agonising moment shortly before his passion, Jesus says: And what shall I say? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour" Jn With these words Jesus reveals the inner drama that is oppressing his soul in view of his approaching sacrifice. He has the possibility of asking the Father that this terrible trial might pass.

On the other hand, he does not wish to flee from this painful destiny: He has come to offer the sacrifice that will bring salvation to humanity. This crucial hour is willed and determined by the Father. Before the hour chosen by the divine plan, his enemies have no power over Jesus. Many attempts were made to stop Jesus or to kill him. When the hour comes, it also appears as the hour of his enemies.
