Short story about going through country (6)
I believe the answer is:
latvia
'country' is the definition.
(Latvia is a European country)
'short story about going through' is the wordplay.
'short story about' becomes 'lat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'going through' becomes 'via' (via means through).
'lat'+'via'='LATVIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latvia that I've seen before include "European republic, capital Riga" , "Baltic state, capital Riga." , "Riga's country" , "Northeast European country" , "Country in northern Europe" .)
