About story being not beyond saving (9)

I believe the answer is:

reparable

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

'being not beyond saving' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'about story' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'story' becomes 'parable' (parable is a kind of story).
're'+'parable'='REPARABLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reparable that I've seen before include "Able to be rectified" , "Able to be fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
