After a point, wind up building work (10,5)
I believe the answer is:
northanger abbey
'after a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'point wind up building work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'point' could be 'north' (north is a kind of point) and 'north' is present in the answer.
'building' could be 'abbey' (abbey is a kind of building) and 'abbey' is found within the answer.
'wind up' could be 'anger' (wind up can mean to annoy or anger) and 'anger' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for northanger abbey that I've seen before include "book" , "Novel" .)
