Neglected person recalled in novel (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cinderella

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'neglected person' is the definition.
'Cinderella' can be an answer for 'person' (Cinderella is an example). I am unsure of the 'neglected' bit.

'recalled in novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates an anagram (letters in a new or novel order).
'recalled'+'in'='recalledin'
'recalledin' anagrammed gives 'CINDERELLA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cinderella that I've seen before include "Pantomime heroine" , "One whose talent is overlooked" , "girl at a ball?" , "Scullery maid" , "a success in the end?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
