If you have not seen Call the Midwife, you need to! It is incredible! It gives us a glimpse into life during the 1950s in London. It chronicles the daily routine of a group of midwives and while being riveting and captivating, it also tackles various social issues in a beautiful way! It does a wonderful job at showing a different perspective of life and sparks up great conversations!
The Persistent Platypus 
I read the books long before the series was made, it made for wonderful reading, and depicted the brutality of poverty in the East End if London after the war.
There are another two books after she did her training equally entertaining, more so because they are based on events that happened.
Glad your enjoying it.
