Modern books set in the 40s/50s, or contemporary books written in the 40s/50s? Here are a few of the former I have enjoyed:
Small Island - Andrea Levy (1948, with flashbacks) - Orange Prize winner
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon (covers a longer time period) - Pulitzer winner
The Separation - Christopher Priest (Mainly just WW2, semi-alt-history) - Clarke Award winner
