Exquisite complicated tale about this place (8)
I believe the answer is:
ethereal
'exquisite' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'complicated tale about this place' is the wordplay.
'complicated' indicates an anagram (a complex or confusing ordering of the letters).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'this place' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tale' anagrammed gives 'etal'.
'etal' placed around 'here' is 'ETHEREAL'.
(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Airy or supernatural" , "Heavenly - fairy-like" , "Insubstantial or not of this world" , "Exquisite - as light as air" , "gossamer" .)
