Country girl's study (7)

I believe the answer is:

perusal

'study' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'country girl's' 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 "Careful examination" , "worth a close look" , "Examination, survey" , "Scanning, reading" , "Process of examination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Evening Standard.
