Where Napoleon first saw the light (7)
I believe the answer is:
corsica
This clue might be a double definition.
'where napoleon first saw' is the first definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'light' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for corsica that I've seen before include "Island north of Sardinia" , "Napoleon Bonaparte was born on this French island" , "Napoleon's birth island" , "Island of W Italy, capital Ajaccio" , "Mediterranean island, birthplace of Napoleon" .)
