The Full Cupboard Of Life continues the delightful story of Mma Ramotswe, who remains engaged to Mr J.L.B. Matekoni following the events of the first book. Yet, she finds herself pondering when a date for the wedding will finally be set, all the while being careful not to exert too much pressure on her fiancé.

Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, however, has his hands full as well. He faces a daunting request from Mma Potokwani, the assertive matron of the Orphan Farm, which adds its own weight to his mind.

Meanwhile, Mma Ramotswe is approached by a wealthy lady, whose wealth originates from her successful hair-braiding salons, seeking her help to investigate a few potential suitors. This lady wonders if these suitors are genuinely interested in her or merely after her fortune. Though this task may seem challenging, Mma Ramotswe, with her natural intuition, is perfectly suited to uncover the truth.
