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 quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 'dot' (synonyms) and 'dot' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'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" .)
