In the current Listener 38a is triggering me. Once the misprint is fixed, the definition and the entry have the same root word.

Mathprofrockstar, I too found that odd ... and not great!

Sorry - cant solve your clue. Give up

Hi jigjag
It was BUCKSHEE - BUCK SHE (the novel in question) E

Thanks, ChrisE.

Jigjag, the 'novel = She' is as bad as 'actor/old actor = Tree' in my eyes! I certainly don't want puzzles filled with teenspeak and Love Island references, but the examples cited smack slightly of laziness, I feel.

Malone ChrisE

Thanks, I didnt think of Buck and She, I only think of Emma when it looks like a novel.

Another unknown authoress in Times today, but glad there was a pork pie

Grunger.

'Unknown'? That's dumbfounded me, sorry!
Yes, it was good to see the pork pie...

Grunger Malone

I haven't heard of her either, nor had many of the posters on Times site

Jigjag, Grunger

I think I was dumbfounded partly because we'd just had the author's very famous character as one of the thematic elements in a very recent Inquisitor. I maybe assumed you'd seen and done that, and I maybe assumed the author was more widely known generally. Sorry!
