Sol Searching began as a personal diary where Keidi Keating recorded her feelings and experiences after moving to Spain in 2004. Reviewing it a few years later, she realised what a journey she had endured and decided to share this with others considering a move abroad. Think Bridget Jones meets the Costa del Sol - only more real!

Product Description
From the Author
I wrote this book to help other's who are thinking of moving to Spain or another country, or those who have already relocated, to realsie their dreams and remember that anything is possible even when everything seems to be falling apart.
Our journeys are each personal, but I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason and that we all have a unique mission to fulfil.
I hope you get a lot from reading my book - not only the funny and practical side of moving abroad, but also the deeper, spiritual awakenings experienced along the way.

Format:Paperback
A down to earth account of a young girl upping the sticks to Spain on her own, full of entertaining and in some circumstances hilarious moments. A real good chicflick type book. Highly recommended.

I will confess to actually personally meeting the author of this book when I lived in Spain for a few years, and was told not long after returning to the UK that she was writing the book by a friend who fed me the expat gossip on a regular basis.
Now for those who have never lived in a foreign country, you need to consider this before reading the book: expats of all shapes and sizes, and of many nationalities are thrown together in communities in a foreign land and a new social order is created. It's like an episode of Eastenders (or Grange Hill) as people scramble up (or try to) the newly re-establishing social ladder. Keidi's book hit's the nail on the head by addressing this. It's no coincidence that the author's current partner who is referenced in the book, is Spanish and that's what gives the whole dialogue some 'balance'. It's not the ranting of a mad woman, but a carefully composed, more often than not amusing view of life on the Costa Del Sol through the eyes of somebody who knows both side of the coin and who embraces the REAL Spanish lifestyle.
If you're looking for a book to read by the pool on holiday, or if you have lived overseas for a period of time with other expats at some point in your life, or if you just like a light hearted read, I'd throughly recommend this book.

Should Keidi Keating really be called a "writer"?
I can't believe Keidi keating can be called a "writer" and be the editor of a magazine when her book is littered with glaring grammatical errors. Read more

I don't agree with S. Walker's opinion, to me it sounds more like a character assassination or personal grudge than a book review. Read more

Self-indulgent drivel
Rarely have I come across such self-indulgent, self-congratulatory drivel. The author is shallow, judgemental, materialistic and hypocritical, treating her fellow Brits in Spain... Read more

You would think, wouldn't you, that this is a book written by a girl, about a girl, for girls?
Well, I am very happy to say that you would be wrong! Read more
