Novelist finding cleaner load no better, unfortunately (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
charlotte bronte
'novelist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cleaner load no better unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'cleaner' becomes 'char' (charwoman is a type of cleaner).
'load' becomes 'lot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'no'+'better'='nobetter'
'nobetter' is an anagram of 'tebronte'.
'char'+'lot'+'tebronte'='CHARLOTTE BRONTE'
'finding' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for charlotte bronte that I've seen before include "Jane Eyre author" , "Yorkshire novelist" , "Victorian novelist" , "Writer" , "Currer Bell" .)
