Novel I rewrote in a state of strong emotional attachment (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
inlove
'a state of strong emotional attachment' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'novel i rewrote' is the wordplay.
'rewrote' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'rewriting' mean this).
'novel'+'i'='noveli'
'noveli' with letters rearranged gives 'INLOVE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for inlove that I've seen is " Devoted to".)
