SUMMARY:May Books & Banter Fiction Book Club: The Last Letters of Sarah and Walter
DESCRIPTION:Books & Banter is our general fiction book club\, focusing on great new reads that matter! As always\, our book clubs are free and open to all\, and the book club pick is 10% off the regular price. You bring the conversation\, we’ll provide the treats! \n\n\n\nThis month’s pick is The Last Letters of Sarah and Walter by Cammie McGovern ($17.99 Book club price: $16.19 Paperback\, 384 pp) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrimming 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.  \n\n\n\nNew 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.  \n\n\n\nWalter 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.
