This month’s pick is The Last Letters of Sarah and Walter by Cammie McGovern ($17.99 Book club price: $16.19 Paperback, 384 pp)
Brimming with the charm of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand and the camaraderie of The Thursday Murder Club, this heartwarming novel follows two unlikely friends who discover new beginnings in their golden years—over competitive Scrabble.
New to a lively retirement community, Sally wants nothing more than to fit in while quietly managing worries about her adult children back home. But when she wanders into Scrabble Club expecting a crowd and finds only Walter Kretzer—the community curmudgeon with an intimidating reputation—her plans shift.
Walter is stunned to discover that Sally is a natural prodigy at the game. As he draws her into the world of high-stakes tournaments, their connection deepens. When Sally’s real reasons for moving emerge, Walter finds the courage to rewrite his final chapter—and maybe their future together.
