Sinéad Morrissey has published a memoir titled Among Communists. The book covers her childhood on the site now occupied by the University of Ulster at Jordanstown. She describes jumping into an unattended diving pool there.

Morrissey's parents followed communist politics during her early years. Her mother moved to the international left from England. Her father, a Belfast university lecturer, came from a background of socialist republicanism.

The memoir focuses on family life in Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 1980s. Morrissey mentions an older brother in the early parts of the account. The narrative shifts as her adolescence begins.

Morrissey later studied at Trinity College Dublin. She recounts time at Oxford and a summer job on the German island of Juist.

The book is available from Dubray Books.
