Victor Hugo novel (3,10)
I believe the answer is:
les miserables
'victor hugo novel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for les miserables that I've seen before include "Musical from Victor Hugo" , "Hugo-based musical" , "Novel, muscial and film about Jean Valjean" , "Victor Hugo novel, Valjean its hero" , "Musical based on a Hugo novel" .)
