There are 15 tales in the book, 15 different subjects are covered, including class, gender, and the human condition. The collection's most well-known stories include "The Garden Party," which centers on a wealthy family planning a garden party while an impoverished family nearby suffers tragedy, "Miss Brill," which explores the inner thoughts of a lonesome woman who frequently visits a public park, and "The Daughters of the Late Colonel," which tells the tale of two sisters who are coping with their father's death and the difficulties in their own lives.
