Hello, I'm Anita Rani and welcome to Woman's Hour from BBC Radio 4.

Good morning and welcome to the programme.

Hattie Williams will be here to tell us about her debut novel, Bitter Sweet,

to talk about her journey to becoming a published author after a career as a musician,

but also losing her mother when she was 18 and suffering with depression, both themes in the book.

Also, what's the real world impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on working women around the globe?

We'll be putting the spotlight on the Soto.

And The Estate is the debut play by Sean Suhota,

currently on at the National Theatre here in London.

It looks at three siblings who discover that their deceased father

has left everything to the son and nothing to his two daughters.

I'll be discussing it with Sean,

who also happens to be a doctor as well as a

playwright. I thought I'd give you that bit of information, just to make us all feel a little bit

inadequate this Friday morning. Also, though, I would like to hear from you on this topic,

the fallout in your own families from inheritance decisions. Did it cause a rift in your family?

Leave a bitter taste. Made you question your relationships,

not only with your siblings, but your departed parent. Are you currently planning your own will?

How are you coming to your decisions? What are you considering? Who's done more for you? Is it based on

favouritism? Are you simply dividing everything equally? Or will everything, as in the play, be left to your son?
