Novel and/or deadline for novel (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
daniel deronda
'novel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'novel andor deadline' is the wordplay.
'novel' is an anagram indicator (letters in a new or novel order).
'andor'+'deadline'='andordeadline'
'andordeadline' is an anagram of 'DANIEL DERONDA'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for daniel deronda that I've seen is " George Eliot novel".)
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
