Just going by the review at the top of the book in the secret saying it's Mary Renault reborn and ... I have never read it, but from the description alone... no?

I've only read her Alexander trilogy (Man, there are so many novels about Alexander who SUCK. I recently found one where the main character is some special snowflake servant girl OC who is the love of his life or something ugh. Does anyone have recs?) and I likes them. I always wanted to try her other books, but I can't decide on which one. Especially since I'm really not a fan of bad/sad endings and she seems to have written a lot of those.

DA

Wouldn't trust that review much, IMO; "Room" wasn't totally awful, but it is the kind of book that you sit back afterwards, and think, "What a well-written piece of utter garbage that book was."

...I may be somewhat bitter because I bought the book at full price, and didn't wait for the remaindered prices.

I love Emma Donoghue, but I wouldn't call Room representative of her body of work. I prefer her historical fiction and short stories- Kissing the Witch and Astray especially.

+1

I go nuts for any of Donoghue's short fiction, but the two novels by her I've read have done nothing for me.

Years ago I read Melissa Scott's A Choice of Destinies and your comment asking about Alexander books just brought it all coming back. It's spec fic/one of the alternative histories that asks what if Alexander had gone west instead of east to India, but then goes from there way into that world's future complete with space stations named after him, you name it. It's totally ridiculous but I remember enjoying it!

...and since you mentioned wanting to try Renault's other books, I couldn't resist a drive-by rec. If you liked the Alexander trilogy, her two books about Theseus (The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea) have a lot in common with those. There's also my personal favorite of her historical novels, The Last of the Wine, set in Athens near the end of the Peloponnesian War. Sad endings do abound in Renault's work, but no worse than the ending of The Persian Boy, if you made it through that!
