Novel in eg German urges me to translate (9,6)

I believe the answer is:

greengage summer

'novel' is the definition.
(The Greengage Summer is a novel by Rumer Godden)

'eg german urges me to translate' is the wordplay.
'to translate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eg'+'german'+'urges'+'me'='eggermanurgesme'
'eggermanurgesme' with letters rearranged gives 'GREENGAGE SUMMER'.

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
