Heroine recalled in novel (10)
I believe the answer is:
cinderella
'heroine' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'recalled in novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new or novel order).
'recalled'+'in'='recalledin'
'recalledin' anagrammed gives 'CINDERELLA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cinderella that I've seen before include "girl at a ball?" , "Ballet by Prokofiev" , "Panto subject" , "One whose talent is overlooked" , "Pantomime heroine" .)
