A Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist, Lucinda's new book - Timeless: Love, Morgenthau, and Me - tells the intimate story of her marriage to Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. She offers a confidential tour of their unconventional years together, years that are both hilarious and interlaced with suspense. "This book is a treasure: a shining love story, a fascinating slice of history, a paean to an extraordinary man. And a terrific readhonest, funny, daring, and beautifully wrought." The Jewish Week.
Lucinda interviewed Robert Morgenthau, and before she walked out his door the two had fallen in love with each other. Morgenthau was one of the most prominent Jews in America, son of FDR's Treasury Secretary and now New York's iconoclastic District Attorney and he was twice Lucinda's age. This is an intimate story of their 35-year marriage, in which Lucinda and Robert shared early success, a love of Jewish culture, a visceral horror of the Holocaust, and a determination to build the city's first Holocaust museum. The couple took trips to Israel, where they visited with Ariel Sharon and various well-known figures, and became passionately pro-Israel: Lucinda would write stories for The New York Times about these visits and Robert worked with Mossad connections to apprehend worldwide terrorists and the white collar criminals that funded them. The memoir is told in a novelistic style, bringing the reader on a journey through their lives filled with criminals, corporate crooks, the great, and the rich and the famous: it is a story of the adventures, the challenges, and always, the humor.
