Summary: "His Hour" by Elinor Glyn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the character Tamara, a young widow who embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery while navigating her encounters with Prince Milaslávski in exotic Egypt and later Russia.

The opening of the novel introduces Tamara as she contemplates the Sphinx in the early morning hours, reflecting on her life and the choices she has made thus far. Feeling isolated yet rebellious, she converses with the Sphinx, pondering the concept of living fully in the present rather than adhering to societal norms.
