In truth she goes to the city (4)
I believe the answer is:
vera
'in truth she' is the definition.
'vera' can be an answer for 'she' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'in truth' bit.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vera that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Dame -- Lynn, singer" , "A girl to rave about" , "& 16 'The Forces' Sweetheart'" , "Girl's name (meaning faith or true)" .)
