Mum in Blockbuster a female returning holy book (7)
I believe the answer is:
fatimah
'mum in blockbuster a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'female returning holy book' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'female' could be 'fatima' (I've seen this before) and 'fatima' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
