20a Lear's close to rage with daughters , torn by conflict. ?d?a??.
I'm thinking close to rage =e , daughters =dd so I'm getting edda -but no six letter words exist.
So I try Lear's close =r but no words begin rd and just for good measure no words begin sr n case close to Lear's was s.
As its Lear's it might mean something beginning to Lear but can't think of anything.
Maybe the clue means "torn by conflict" but can't think of anything.
I'd be grateful not only for the answer but your thought process as to how you parsed the clue.
