Milli Hahn er i Den sidste aften midaldrende, ung bedstemor. Romanen udspiller sig i perioden omkring første verdenskrig, tegnet i dystre glimt fra Tysklands mobilisering. For Milli er erotikken stadig den drivende kraft, men mindre ukompliceret end før. Agnes Henningsen skildrer den aldrende kvindes vekslen mellem resignation og opblussende livslyst – og balancegangen mellem trangen til at elske og blive elsket, og angsten for at ydmyge sig. Den fri kærlighed og den fri selvudfoldelse er stadig Millis og Agnes Henningsens program. Men omkostningerne tegnes tydeligere i seriens sidste bind.

Vi følger hende i 1890’ernes danske provins fra hun forlover sig med den alvorlige, mere komplicerede magister Vilhelm Thorsen.

"Det rige efterår" handler om den »frie« kvinde i 1900-tallets første årti. Milli Hahn er nu selverhvervende forfatter bosat i København, først alene, siden med tre af sine fire børn. »Hun kunde ikke leve med en Mand, og hun kunde ikke leve uden en Mand.« Erotikken og den erotiske psykologi er bogens hovedtema – dengang dristigt i sin åbenhjertighed og stadig lyslevende og frisk. Men baggrunden er dyster.
