A novel, a second time (4)

I believe the answer is:

anew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a novel a second time' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' becomes 'new' (novel means new or fresh).
'a'+'new'='ANEW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anew that I've seen before include "Once more (poetic)" , "Wane in a different way, again" , "Afresh" , "From the beginning again" , "Again but differently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
