S.Sanbayev gave a good piece of advice to the author: “I read the book by A.Altynova “The rose of winds” with great pleasure. It’s pleasant when a woman comes into literature.

She writes pleasantly, unlike any man could write. This book by its genre comes close to the French writer, who wrote psychological novels – Andre Maurois. I advise A.Altynova to read his works. And also to see the 4-volume dictionary by V.Dal, all the more so since the book about Kazakh reality is written in the Russian language”. D.Nakipov in his speech said: “I am surprised at the gift of the authoress. She writes simply and sincerely about the soul of modern Kazakh woman. There in the book is depicted the new world outlook of the modern international family”. Of interest were the opinions of S.Gonago, N.Zhmerenetskaya, G.Shalabayeva, Zh.Berdalina, A.Abilova and others.
