Right country found in middle of book, Woolf novel (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orlando

'woolf novel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right country found in middle of book' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'country' becomes 'land' (synonyms).
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'middle of' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'book' is 'oo'.
'r'+'land'='rland'
'rland' going within 'oo' is 'ORLANDO'.

(Other definitions for orlando that I've seen before include "Bloom for one" , "Disney World location" , "Shakespeare hero - book by Virginia Woolf" , "Rosalind's lover" , "Floridian city of Disney World" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
