The novel includes 5 separate stories, forming an integrated unit. Its heroine is an educated woman on the verge of old age, called Anna Magdalena Bach, who is still very beautiful. She travels in the middle of each August to the small island, where her mother’s resting place is in the cemetery of the poor, to narrate It contains details of her emotional adventures with her lovers, “surreptitiously from her husband.”
