Barbara Taylor Bradford discusses her book, “A Sudden Change of Heart.” She begins by talking about the two main characters in the book, Laura and Claire. Bradford describes Laura as “true blue,” an always devoted friend to Claire. She describes Laura’s grandmother, Megan, as a woman of wisdom. Bradford says Laura’s parents were so much in love with each other that they ignored their children. She shares that she was fascinated by the rise of power of the Nazis while growing up in England. Bradford believes that one must have the ability to stand in the shoes of each character and understand what they are feeling in this kind of book. She goes on to say that her friend, Jerry Katzman, met a person who had lived in a similar circumstance as the character, Rosa, during the Nazi occupation of France. Bradford's interview ends at the pause at the end of the video.
