Book brought back from team meeting (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emma

'book' is the definition.
(Jane Austen novel)

'back from team meeting' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'amme' is hidden in the letters of 'team meeting'.
'amme' written backwards gives 'EMMA'.

'brought' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emma that I've seen before include "classic work" , "Flaubert's heroine" , "Eponymous heroine" , "book" , "Retired chief in Ian Fleming" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
