In the months between May and August 1945 the world is both winding down and changing forever. Unconditional Surrender charts these changes through two voices, the rector of a rural parish in north Wales, and a mysterious German countess, housed under his care as a displaced person. At the centre of their attention is Meg, the rector's daughter, and her increasingly fraught relationships with a conscientious objector and a young prisoner-of-war held nearby. The results of these relationships are as momentous, in their own way, as the bombing of Hiroshima.
Unconditional Surrender sets young against old, local against international, and charts the changing social mores of this unique period in history.
