I can only think of books I wouldn't recommend - Forster's Maurice and I think some of Byatt's Frederica Quartet*. Jill Paton Walsh's Imogen Quy books are also set there, but have a tendency to turn me from a Scandinavian social democrat to a violent Communist revolutionary, so I won't recommend those, either.
Did Iris Murdoch set anything in Cambridge? Or Margaret Drabble? They might be worth looking at. I have visions of that host of intelligent 50s/early 60s women who did degrees at Cambridge and then wrote novels to stop themselves going mad when their husbands went to the library and pub and they had to stay in and handwash nappies.
*Though Frederica deserves some note as an extraordinary canon Mary-Sue.
