Kærlighedens årstider er første bind i trebindsværket Kærlighedens årstider (1927), Det rige efterår (1928) og Den sidste aften (1930). Kærlighedens årstider er først og fremmest et fintmærkende psykologisk portræt af den unge Milli Hahn. Vi følger hende i 1890’ernes danske provins fra hun forlover sig med den alvorlige, mere komplicerede magister Vilhelm Thorsen.

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.
