"Gigi" novelist (7)
I believe the answer is:
colette
'gigi novelist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for colette that I've seen before include "French female novelist" , "Fr. novelist, wrote Gigi" , "French writer" , "French novelist, author of Gigi, d. 1954" .)
