"A Restless Wind piques the reader's interest from the very beginning with fine details and a strong and engaging protagonist." The Deccan Herald

"Husain deftly handles a feast of characters and twisting plots. This is a cleverly written, challenging novel which asks the question what does it mean to be happy and fulfilled? ... A rare glimpse of what life may or may not be like for modern Indian royalty. A fascinating read." The Asian Writer

"A fascinating emotional narrative of an expatriate, A Restless Wind intertwines the old with the new in modern India." Muneeza Shamsie, Newsline (Pakistan)

"When India Exotic meets India Embattled a great new transcontinental heroine is born. Husain has put the characters together with great care. But it is Zara who is the novel's anchor and her confusion over her identity propels the plot." Kaveree Bamzai, India Today

"One intriguing trait of Husain's narration is its delicately filigreed details. Her descriptions are graphic, colourful and semiotically nuanced. The semiotized narrative brings home to the reader the contrasted cultural set-ups, or, in phenomenological terms, the conflicting 'lifeworlds' that the different characters in the novel inhabit." Arnab Bhattacharya, The Telegraph, India
