The Five Houses of Leah Goldberg

She died more than four decades ago, but even today, Leah Goldberg is still an enigmatic figure – she is Israel’s most beloved poet, a powerful woman, who lived with her mother and never married, a woman who invented herself from the ashes of World War I through her magical poetry.
