He saw women and families at their most vulnerable, their most joyous, and sometimes their most heart-broken.In the Shadow of the Eighth is the story of how a young doctor without strong views on abortion became convinced that women should be trusted to make the right decisions for their lives - and how he then did everything in his power to bring about a situation where they could.More than that, it is an engaging account of working in one of medicine's most satisfying specialities, a revealing behind-the-scenes insight into what it's like trying to make change happen, and a fascinating portrait of a society in transition.Lively, gripping, sometimes enraging but always compassionate, Peter Boylan's story is vital and encouraging reading for these turbulent times.'A comprehensive, insightful and often shocking social history of the country' Irish Independent'A hero to many (including me)' @MarianKeyes'Both personal and political ... a very important history of recent events that have utterly changed Ireland's social and political landscapes' Irish Times'A fascinating story' Matt Cooper, Today FM'The book is fabulous' Pat Kenny, Newstalk
