Country girl reading (7)
I believe the answer is:
perusal
'reading' is the definition.
(I know that perusal is a type of reading)
'country girl' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'peru' (Peru is an example).
'girl' becomes 'sal' (feminine given name).
'peru'+'sal'='PERUSAL'
(Other definitions for perusal that I've seen before include "Reading, examination" , "Thorough read-through" , "worth a close look" , "Process of examination" , "A casual read or study" .)
