A relative skipping one grips point in narrative (8)
I believe the answer is:
anecdote
'narrative' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a relative skipping one grips point' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 'dot' (synonyms) and 'dot' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anecdote that I've seen before include "One acted (anag) - amusing reminiscence" , "Account regarded as unreliable" , "One acted over interesting story" , "Reminiscence, story" , "Short accoung of an incident" .)
