Exactly this. I'd hold up Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart as an example of a book that's especially impressive in this regard.

The ideas woven into the story are universally accessible, so anyone who reads it can "get" what it's about, and it accomplishes this while still remaining an authentic expression of the author's lived experiences.
