Morris loved the character development showed Joseph a spoiled brat to a very experienced vizier. It was very inspiring and made me empathize and applaud him. I loved it, too, how the author portrays the chemistry between Joseph and Asenath as a factor often overlooked (or even lost) in a slice of life of Joseph.

However, the biggest father-son relationship throughout the novel is between Baba and Amir.
