Over A Spitfire II The Sequel

by Sherrie Lowe

PLEASE DON’T read this book or look inside until you have read Over A Spitfire because it will spoil it completely!

We left Over A Spitfire with a death and a reunion. In this sequel the reincarnated character of Will decides that they would like to trace Will’s family.

Has anyone done that before? What will Will’s family think? Who is this crackpot knocking at our door? But knock at the door they do, metaphorically speaking and here unfolds a story of past connections and new relationships. A family saga with a difference – and what have the 1980s got in common with The Black Death and The Great Fire of London?

About the author

I am a divorced mother of two adult sons and I have five lovely grandchildren. I was working as a learning support assistant in a mainstream high school when I became ill with ME (also called chronic fatigue syndrome) in 1995. I have since written eleven novels and two memoirs and Song of the Phoenix although the fourth to be written is the first to be published, mainly because the first three are more or less a trilogy.
As of June 2012 - all novels and the memoirs are now published and available in paperback from http://www.feedaread.com/
and Kindle editions from http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_n...
Writing has kept me sane through what is an extremely debilitating and isolating illness and my aim is to earn my living from it.

This was a satisfying sequel. Like the smooth finish to a fine aged wine, this sequel left this reader pleased with another fine read. The Author, Sherrie Lowe, never seems to disappoint and manages to engage the reader on every level. This novella played well in the continuing story of reincarnation and how it affects the people surrounding it. The characters were perfectly portrayed with realistic emotions that added to the story when it went back further so the main characters could actually meet and trace the families from their past lives. The inspiration for this sequel took root after the first book's publication and I'm glad she followed through on her writer's instincts.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Over a Spitfire by Sherrie Lowe and had no hesitation in ordering a copy of the sequel. Although Over a Spitfire 2 is a short book, it is long enough to continue the story of the two main characters, Ava and Will, and bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
The author’s imaginative storytelling and detailed descriptions of time and place, along with the well-rounded and relatable characters, continued to draw me in, as did the continuing exploration of the intriguing concept of reincarnation.
This book begins in 1984, over forty years on from the beginning of the main story in Book One, which is set during World War 2, and one year after the short epilogue at the end. What starts as a desire by Michael to meet the family from his past life in the 1940s soon turns into a search for connections between him and Ava even further back in time. The characters and events in London during the Plague and Great Fire of 1665 and 1666 are vividly drawn and add an extra dimension to the ongoing storyline.
As Ms Lowe states in the book description, this novel must be read after reading Over a Spitfire and not before it, as that would spoil the enjoyment of Book One. Together they make an enjoyable and thought-provoking story, with the key theme of reincarnation being well developed throughout. After reading these two books, the meaning of the term ‘soulmates’ will be firmly fixed in readers’ minds. In Book 2, we not only we see the effects of reincarnation on the two main characters involved but witness the varied reactions of family members and friends when presented with the facts of Michael’s past life.
All in all, this is a well written and well-paced book with a fascinating storyline and realistic characters, and is an excellent sequel to Over a Spitfire.

I loved Over A Spitfire so I was extremely thankful to already have a copy of the sequel to dive into. Over A Spitfire is one of those books with characters who stay in your mind and who you might wonder about. So, this sequel is a perfect follow on. It is novella length and must only be read if you have already read Over A Spitfire first, otherwise it will completely spoil the story for you. It is a catch up with the characters, like meeting up with old friends and finding out what they have been up to since you last met. I loved it.
I can’t say much else really without giving anything away, but I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Ava and seeing how her story progressed. It is full of fascinating discoveries, emotion, and heart-warming moments. The last four lines brought a tear to my eye.

This is the sequel to Over a Spitfire and you absolutely must read that first, otherwise it will totally spoil it for you. Again this book has a lovely front cover design featuring a Spitfire.

This book starts in 1984 and Michael and Ava are now a couple and still they both want to find out more about their past lives. It is a very short book with only 74 pages but its packed with interesting and fascinating facts about their past lives going back to The Great Fire of London and the Black Death. No spoilers here as it will totally spoil it for the reader.

A great couple of books that will stay with you for a long while after reading them as you ponder ... if ..what.. would it...
