Violet's Flight' chronicles the escape from Burma of tens of thousands of Burmese over the Himalayas to India at the time of the Japanese invasion in 1942. It also follows the war and occupation in Burma from the perspective not just of the Burmese, but of Japanese officers and the resistance forces. It concludes with the assassination of Aung San which led to the Burma (Myanmar) of today. Much of it is told from the viewpoint of Violet and her father Aloysius Nicholas. Violet eventually traveled to Canada and lived her last years in Simcoe, Ontario. Before she died she left her memoirs with author David Beasley.
