Golda had a lover? Who knew?

by Lisa Goldman on Wed 27 Jun 2007 05:15 PM IDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I am on a brief hiatus, with blogging to resume early next week. Meanwhile, check out the book I photographed at an Amman bookshop. ;)

Don't freak out - it's a novel. Review is here.

Fascinating, in a deeply odd way.

Have a great time doing whatever where-ever!

Are we talking about the same tree-trunk-legged woman who wore thick stockings like a bubbe and had more facial hair than grandpa Dave? I mean, really...Golda?

Hi Adina,

I've seen pictures of her as a younger woman. Surprisingly (very surprisingly!), she was actually rather attractive in her youth. Sadly, Golda did not age gracefully. As I recall, she had no shortage of male companions over the years...

I have been looking for pics of her online as a young woman, but no luck. The earliest I could find was this one, the template stare for every stern hebrew teacher I had as a kid.

The book came out in Italy two years ago... I kinda enjoyed it, thought it wasn't exactly a litteralture masterpiece.

Anyway, a good reading.

Liza can you please find and post some pictures of young Golda Meir. I'm very interested to see such pictures of her.

I think Selim Nassib's novel about Umm Kulthoum's lover was sent to everyone who could find Egypt on a map. I see he's into the genre =)
